Cayman Island Swordfish

We just got back from the 7th annual Cayman Islands Swordfish Challenge.

The Evinrude powered 33 foot Dusky More Time with Capt Tom Guyton took first place with 3 swordfish of 207, 66 and 70 pounds. Second place was Capt Davie Ebanks aboard Strokin with swordfish of 88 and 91 pounds. Third was Down the Hatch with Capt Ron Hatch. They had 2 weight fish of 61 and 70 pounds, plus the only release points, with one release.

We were in charge of science and research with Capt Buster McLean, Travis Moore, Katie, Capt Abie Raymond and myself.

We weighed a swordfish of 244.4 pounds and satellite tagged a health 70 inch, approximately 160 pound swordfish.

Capt Charles Ebanks aboard Hog Heaven caught the only swordfish from Grand Cayman an 89 pound fish. All the rest were caught from Cayman Brac.
