South Island Swordfish 450lb

Out on a commercial tuna boat off the west coast of the South Island Matt Watson rigs up some baits to try and hook into the toughest of all fish - the broadbill swordfish. No one has caught a swordfish on rod and reel here, and with limited gear and rough seas, this tough challenge gets even tougher, and at 3am Matt hooks up to something big....

Fishing is the ultimate sport! Keep up the good work matt.

[@johnthekiwi1601]

Fish of a lifetime for most people. Another day at the office for Matt. I've fished just about everywhere you can imagine around the world on the top boats with the top skippers and I suspect that Matt could teach them a thing or two regardless of the specialty of the fishery.

This was a special fish for Matt one that he wont forget, and he loves to tell this story. Thanks for the comment mate.

[@bugdiverhb]

Outstanding catch Matt and team.

Loving this lockdown the fish in our area have multiplied heaps

[@williammurad8704]

With the lockdown in Sydney.. where fishing is still legal, everyone single person is out fishing = no more fish 😅😂

[@gnrsgl]

We're allowed to fish from the shore now or a non motorised vessel

Don’t bloody let out that this could be a new summer time fishery. Because before long they will be bloody fished out just like the shellow water hapuka and the Nz yellowfin. We need tougher bans on fishing especially commercial!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
