We started with a black grouper on a X-rap 30 trolling in 20 feet. Then it was about a dozen assorted small tuna on plugs, feathers and ballyhoo. A bamboo branch made the day with 20 mahi to 10 lbs and a wahoo. One more nice mahi on the edge and fishing dropped dead for the afternoon.

Yesterday Dan set out to catch a swordfish deep dropping during the day. He is a hard working businessman and father who doesn’t have time to train for a 2 hour big game fish battle. With this in mind we set out to help him catch a swordfish.
We used a Penn 80 International with a removable Hooker Electric Drive. We dropped his bait down 1700 feet. After 45 minutes we had 2300 feet of line out to keep the bait near the bottom.
The swordfish struck and Dan geared up with his standup harness and we hooked him in and the battle was on. After several minutes of trying to keep up with this big fish his arns were shot.
We reattached the Hooker Electric Drive and Dan used it to catch up with his rising battler. As the fish reached 200 feet below Dan took over the fight and we removed the Hooker Electric Drive. Dan then brought the gladiator to the gaff.
Without the Penn International and Hooker Electric Drive Dan would have had to turn the rod over to another angler or the mate. With this set up this was his catch.
We have also perfected our use of the Penn International and Hooker Electric Drive as a down rigger, so our anglers can fish IGFA legal with a lot less effort maintaining their bait in the best location

We fished Saturday with Martin and Pasi from Sweden. They caught and harvested a 120 lb swordfish and released a 200 swordfish. They will use this expierence for magazine articles at home.
Today we fished with Nate and Vito and Vito caught a 300 lb swordfish. We used the Hooker Electric reel to work the baits and then we remove the motor to fight the fish.
Vito wanted to test the Hooker Electric reel, so he brought the fish up 800 feet with the motor and then fought it 45 minutes man to fish hand cran
