A small sword that was taken 'deep dropping' during the daylight hours in 1800' of water. It was released after the photo was taken. Capt. Vic Gaspeny is the world record holder for the most swordfish taken on rod & reel.

Joe,
Vic is the individual on the right, holding the sword's tail.
The fellow on the left is the grandson of Capt. Gregorio Fuentes.. Hemingway's captain & friend (the true model for the Old Man and the Sea). I meet Gregorio while fishing the Hemingway Blue Marlin in Cuba. When I showed Rafael the photo taken and article that I'd written about his Grandfather... he cried as it brought back so many memories.

That's a great photo. 1800'? That's a lot of line. Which one is Capt. Vic?
