Nice work gang! What a beast! Free swimmer was cool and the Banana cracks me up!

[@kevinn6947]

Sent over from my man blue gabe great channel brother

[@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.

[@gregprince2523]

[@veronicam2942]

Wow, that thing is MASSIVE! I came here from Blue Gabe and I’m not disappointed.

[@FishNole121]

Congratulations! Stuff of dreams!

[@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😉😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@oldman5250]

I thought for sure that I left a comment when I first saw this video! That is a very nice sordfish.

[@KylesHooked]

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!

[@justinwhite5859]

MADNESS..... LOL GREAT VIDEO....WAY TO GO TO WORK GOOD JOB

[@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? :)

[@jmac0643]

Congratulations again capt that is such an amazing sword. Great video. You sir are legend!!!!

[@thegreatgreennorth9983]

Had to watch this one again💪💪💪

[@joaocarlosperronekasznar6370]

What a giant!!! And what a fight!!! Congratulations!

[@cesarvilla7681]

What a fight? the man dont touch the rod neither the reel

[@BurntBreadFG]

Mind if I ask what type of line you were using? 😂 because what ever company made that line, you just proved that they are the strongest

[@baheadhunters6052]

Awsome catch right there... Someday I might make it down there.. Tis the season for fishing the hard water...

[@emrysplane7354]

Holy crap that is a real sea monster . Congratulations 👍and thanks fore sharing

[@robertvolpendesta9423]

What time of year? I love Bud and Mary's, THE KEYS!

[@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]

[@ReelSaltyAus]

Awesome work Nick, you’ve earned it with all the hours you put in! How crazy is the sword that free swims up to the boat while your trying to work out how to get the monster in.

[@georgewilliams7078]

Why are you following the fish your not putting enough pressure on the fish let the fish tow u until dead that's how we do it here in southern California we learned if we follow it might take 20 hours

[@georgewilliams7078]

We catch them from 150 to 550 pounds all on j hooks

[@autonomous_collective]

Where do you sell it at? Or do you plan to eat it all?

[@thereloaderscloset9096]

Could you please speak to the type of fish finder/chart plotter you use to see or locate some of the Swordfish in the deep. Will be in the market for a new fish finder/chart plotter once I get my boat running. I check out some on the internet but the videos are like a commercial for each brand. Would like to see something from the private sector or what's getting used. Also great videos.

[@StanzFam]

I have simrad evo 3 19’s , with a 509 3kw transducer , I’ve been super with them

[@waynelawrence3965]

Would like to see a complete in depth set up video. Show all the details. How far is the leader as well as the distance with the lead weight in regards to the leader and main line. Also how far is the leader from the bottom.

Great job guys.

[@thelava_co]

That was Aaaawwweeesome! Full on "Ernest Hemingway - Old Man And The Sea" size fish!

[@Juancarlosq676]

Damn you winched that in real good, that must have been a experience you will never forget. Holding a button down for 8 hours. To me it seems to lack the personal fight.

[@jonathank5289]

Love to see you hand crank it for 8 hours in a standup harness. Probably 12 hours hand cranking that fish in. Be lots of anglers taking turns fighting that beast. I bet by the time you got it up from 1700 feet of water to get the weight off you'd be begging for someone to take the rod. LOL!

[@Juancarlosq676]

@@jonathank5289 yes probably but I wouldnt go fishing with a winch

[@jonathank5289]

@@Juancarlosq676 They're fishing hooker electric reels which gives the angler the option of taking off the eclertic reel part and fight the fish. Most normal do that once the weight has been taken off. It takes a long time to real up 10 pounds of lead plus a 757 sword. Happy New Year buddy!

[@jonathank5289]

It takes 10 to 15 minutes to reel up the lead to check baits with the electric reel. Hand cranking from that depth will take 30 minutes.

[@Meidas_Lea]

I just googled what's the largest swordfish cought in US it said 357, why didn't this one count? 😂😿

[@fatguy3377]

That’s just awesome!!!! Well done buddy! Tell Scott to go pound sand and kick rocks now 😂😂😂

[@zoomwrestling5870]

WOW! I’m a big fan of him and have heard Nick is the best. This guy is just on FIRE for catching monsters. imagine the fish was harvested to capture a weight etc. Nick were you looking for a record on the fish? If not what are your thoughts on letting the huge ones go in terms of level of Mercury content accumulated in larger fish and allowing for big fish genes to pass on etc. Also any thoughts on electric reels? I’de imagine it makes for less risk to you as a charter, but almost seems like cheating. Without it you’de prob end up being out there till dark no? Personally i’m not experienced in these size fish, so these are honest questions i’de be curious to know answers to from big fish experts.

[@jeffsmith8958]

My experience is a fish that big fought for that long has basically no chance of survival. A fish coming from 2,000+ feet of water and completely exhausting itself wouldn’t make it and would end up as shark food. Idk a ton about the mercury content but I know people eat this sized sword often. That’s a $$,$$$ fish right there on a long line boat too!

[@Abebe345]

That's a complete sea monster. 👏🏽
