757# Swordfish! Massive Broadbill Swordfish with Capt. Nick Stanczyk!

On March 31, 2019 Bill and Debbie booked a swordfish trip with Capt. Nick Stanczyk. First drop of the day we hooked a giant 757 lb swordfish that took 8 hours to catch! It took some time but we eventually got it in the 37’ Freeman Boatworks and headed back to Bud n’ Mary’s Marina to get a weight and clean it up for dinner!

Got electric reels but a manual hoist back at Bud & Mary's I think yall will need to step up the Marina I'm getting an electric hoist

[@diverles12]

AWESOME FISH GUYS !!!!!! Fish of a lifetime!!

[@jmvmike]

What an amazing fish! May I suggest a chain fall type hoist with a 3/4 ton working load limit at the dock and a small 1/2 ton on the boat. It will make life much easier for y’all. Congratulations on an incredible catch!

[@fellspoint9364]

You got it right, brother. At that point it’s a rigging job. Get some slings and chokers too.

[@oldman5250]

Remember when this was caught. The word of the catch spreaded fast North to Port Canaveral. Just started following you. Great video's.

[@StanzFam]

Thanks!

[@FishingLongIsland]

My stomach was in knots thinking the rope was gonna snap while pulling her in the boat. Lol. Awesome video n job on a fish of a life time. Love the 🍌

[@jeffcummings5688]

That was sooooooo Awesome!!

[@Nikgriff1]

Congratulations beautiful female swordfish is understandable because usually the male is smaller and when they capture the companion he always remains close happens very often here with me in the Strait of Messina in Sicily. The couple of swordfish is called "Paricchia" in dialect. Nice catch😉😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@matthewdragas2873]

at 6:41 there is another swordfish or some billfish in the water....crazy

[@neisonaidel5603]

Woow woow that's good Fisher man nice video

[@remelsheikh]

Anyone else notice the free swimmer at 6:40???

[@fishfreak2001]

Ya I did too! I guess they might like to swim together.

[@victoriab7579]

it is thought that swordfish mate for life. Long line fishermen often see this when pulling up swords.

[@josecorujo4148]

They say they swim in pears female and male and I've also heard as a mate for life just something iv picked up in the keys .

[@oscarcaminas7334]

I saw it last second and thought it was a shark... Played it back and noticed it was another swordfish.

[@DeeCeeTheGreat]

Nick sees it at 6:34, then points to it at 6:35 :) I tried to amplify the sound to hear what he said,. (Sounded like, "There is another sword fish right there", ...maybe he will share what he said when he reads this? :)

[@mr.fedalmatia7702]

Nice Toad...great job...congratz amigos...cheers from retirement in Croatia. .. I fished Swords out of San Pedro, Ca in 84-85 stick boat during the day 1 mile gill net set at night...we slayed them on the Laura Ann...

[@goldeneaglepride5044]

Grew up Marlin and tuna fishing and to me there is zero honor in catching such a glorious beast with an electric reel. One man, one rod and reel and a really good capt. at the wheel.

[@yessuhyessuh2100]

Tuna and marlin arent 2000+ feet down

[@davidfalcone4736]

You know what Jacques Cousteau said about sport he hated them said they were all perverts entertaining themselves by killing a slowly you are an idolater who worships fish

[@davidfalcone4736]

Shows what the f***igfa records are supposed to be caught dead boat

[@Engravewetrust]

Good catch man! Dont worry about them haters here if they are crying about you catching that they would hate commercial fishermen lol
