Biggest Swordfish We Have Ever Seen

We head down to the east coast and try get our swordfish season started. After not even getting a bite on the first day we decided to go back out and try get some fresh bait and try our luck again. Just as we was about to give up the line started screaming off and we had a hook up. We put the old man on the rod to see if he can catch his first swordfish and not only did he end up catching one it was by far the biggest one we had ever seen. We got a quick look at him and put a tag in for research then sent him on his way.

Great catch congratulations. How far do you go out on single engine. We do 25 miles out of Miami Florida USA with single engine for swords ⚔️

Thanks mate. We only have a 15 mile run out to the sword grounds here in Tasmania so we are pretty lucky.
