Going Sword fishing this weekend

I will be fishing in Florida this weekend and I found out Saturday that National Geographic and International Game Fish Association will be coming along to photograph the trip. The captain is famous for his abilities in deep dropping for sword fish. I am so excited I can't wait this means the pressure is on him to put us on some fish he has brought in fish up to 440 pounds.

Going out of Islamorada, FL out of Bud N Marys with Captain Richard Stanczyk.

If you want check out this website for a few pictures including the 440 pound sword. There is also a cool picture of a boat backing down on a fish with water coming over the back of the boat.

Now that sounds like a plan for sure. Especially since I just sold my boat so now I need lots of friends with a boat. :)
