What a catch!
Check out the pictures of the ORC RECORD swordfish caught on February 25th aboard Mo Cuisle at 391 lbs. Congratulations to Bud Copeland, Wade Copeland, Guy Lipscomb and Tre Still. It took a three-hour fight to land this enormous fish. Special thanks to John Weiland for providing his digital scale and doing the official weigh-in late in the day.
