Catching Swordfish in Louisiana

In this episode of BlacktipH, Jake Jorgensen and Davis Bennett fly to Louisana and meet up with Duke Riley to go fishing for swordfish! They began by heading 50 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico to a massive oil rig. The captain, Louis, rigged up a squid for bait and dropped it down 1500 feet deep. Not long after, they got a bite, and it was a giant swordfish!! Jake and Duke worked hard hand-cranking this fish, and after a two-hour fight, Louis gaffed it. After catching the swordfish, Louis went spearfishing before heading back to the dock. Louis, Jake, and Duke weighed the swordfish and then cleaned it.

[@ammobake]

Hope J-Dizzle feels 100% soon. Chronic back issues are no joke. I ended up having to get disc fusion and a prosthetic Prodisc-L back in 2010 after i was hurt on active duty. doc said it was 3 month recovery which ended up being more like a year. And you still deal with pain from scar tissue inflamation and muscle pain issues for many years after.

These sword fish are just babies 😂 Matt Watson in New Zealand fought a sword fish for like 17 hours and was a monster
