Swordfish on a fly

One of the strangest fishing catches ever was made on March 9 hen IGFA Chairman Ray Cronacher boated a potential world record 59-pound, 5-ounce swordfish while casting at night off South Florida from his Gladiator. Swordfish are very aggressive fish which will eat almost anything at times, but to get one to the surface at night and being able to make a cast to it with 20-[b tippet tackle is truly exceptional.

A small craft advisory is up in NY/NJ Bight through Wednesday afternoon. The forecast is for NE winds at 5 knots going to south in the afternoon with 4-7-foot seas. Fog, drizzle and light rain is possible.
