I didn't get a chance to see it - I'll have to try and catch the repeat but it doesn't sound like I missed much
My wife and I have refused to buy or eat sword for years - I'd always opt for mako which we felt was a lot better if I could find it - but we haven't bought it either given the state of that fishery
Here's an image I have from the old Angler's Art website circa 1911 of a sword catch at BI - I've got another - if I can find it...
...with a gentleman who looks remarkably like my great-grandfather (who spent lots of time on the Block during that period)
Hell, he probably spent time drinking nickel beers with Joe Lyon's great grandpa at the National there on the Island back in the day...
Pretty disheartening when you stop to realize what we once had and is no more...
