Very inspirational! Curious as to the depth and manner of fishing employed? Noted you used mono. Most of the action of Florida is taken with braid and electric reels -- hardly fishing IMHO. Still on my Bucket list. For Florida the smaller fish can be taken at night as shallow as 800ft, but the big boys -- like the one you took are out in 1200-2000 in the gulf stream, which has 2-5kts of current to complicate the matter. Very stoked for you! Takes some confidence to pursue that on an inflatable boat.

65lb braid mainline and 150lb mono wind on. I was fishing 1500ft of water with 5lbs of lead. It was a typical swordfish leader with bait, lights and lead attached.

That's some serious "Old Man and The Sea" stuff. Too bad this site if fading away--even though it was on a Kabot not a kayak--that is an epic catch!
