Nice catch! Nice fight! Question though, those cuts on the underside look like the fish got caught by a wheel,(propeller). I ask this only because I remember my dad had a winning fish in a swordfish tournament disqualified when the captain backed down on the fish and cut it with a wheel. I also remember how pissed the old man was, and we never saw him come back pissed from fishing.....

Again, nice fish. I by no means wanted to detract from your trophy, nor hijack your thread.

DId you release him? You probably know that they can make recreations out of fiberglass and they look great. I would if I could ever catch one of those.

Great work :kewl:
