Well we set off around 6:00 pm heading out to the sword grounds around petronious. We arrived just before dark and got everything rigged and out............Wasted all night with no luck on the swords. Well around 3:00am we decided to run out to the Ram Powell to see what might be going on out there........ When we arrived there were a few Blackfin busting here and there but not too much happening other than that. We set up a drift and drifted till daylight.......... again nothing doing....... At daylight we ran back to Ram. The water was cobalt blue and clear we chased the tuna that were busting for a while with nothing to show except a little blackfin, when I decided to try a chunk line for a while...... we no more than set up one drift and had two hits with one hookup....... after a nice little tug I pulled this little feller in  We quickly set up another drift and Dad got to try his luck...........  It wasn't long before he had a nice little fight on his hands......... This fish really put a whoopin on my Dad..... I was giving him so much lip the whole fight.........Telling him how this fish was whoopin his butt.....lol anyway ( you had to be there) After a long fight we put this girl in the boat..... No one was happier than Dad for that fish to be in the boat  I wish I knew exactly what it weighed but It was definately over 100. I know it is the biggest one so far that Dad or I have caught so that is good enough for me......... Sorry for the rambling..... I am not the best story teller ;)........ After that one we drifted many more times with nothing to show but Rainbow runners....... we headed north to try and top off the box...... which we did with a nice gag, several scamp, a few mingos and a nice Queen snapper........ We caught a few Alamo jacks but let them swim to see another day........ A great trip to say the least.

Very nice report and pics. That last pic of the big one shows how the deck of a boat is supposed to look. BLOODY.

great report and pics! I would love to see pics of your boat and rigging. It takes skill to do an overnighter with two men and a center console.
