Giant SHIP almost ran us over while Swordfishing! Catch Clean Cook

In this episode I cover our 3 day October swordfish camp. We had a group of 6 guys on board and everyone rigged baits and worked on their swordfishing skills. Day 1 went smooth, Day 2 proved to be a little tricky, and Day 3 had a scare when out of the rain storm a giant ship was barreling down on us. I didn't get the camera out right away as we were moving offshore to be out of harms way, but when I turn the camera on you can see how close the ship was! Back at the marina we cook up some fresh swordfish at Saylor Ashton's sunrise grill! Enjoy!

[@pammager7135]

What a beautiful day for fishing. Sad to see a refugee boat filled with people hoping for a better way of life. Probably will be sent back. Then you come close to a shipping container freighter. Sure was very close. When you're filming it seems like your boat is staying pretty calm. Not sure if it's really calm though? Wonder if any of the guests ever get seasick? I was on a drift fishing boat off of Ft. Lauderdale years ago. At night. Wasn't any fun. Won't do it again. But it does look like a lot of fun! Best Wishes, Nick and family!

Nick like always an excellent video. I missed you at the boat show, but my son Masterbaiter Junior got a chance to talk to you and took a picture with you. ThNks for the regards and hope to get together soon and go sword fishing with you. You are number one, your father taught you well. Sincerely Pipo from the Miami fishing Pipo channel. You girl did very good at the tournament. Already winning at such an early age.👍👍😍😍

[@miamifishingpipo]

Did you ever get the fishing rod out of the water? To many sharks

[@miamifishingpipo]

I love to see you and your brother together. Nothing like family together and expending the day on the water .

[@StanzFam]

Thanks! Hope to see you next time. We sacrificed the rod due to the sharks there. I’ll try to do another video with my brother soon

[@evancooper3827]

Awesome video once again Nick, keep up the awesome work!!! And just curious but was that container ship headed to key west or Miami or was it headset away from the United States? The wake from that bulbous bow was freaking huge man lol!!!

[@UltraMagaFan]

Nick what do you think about the 29' bay boat catamaran hybrid Freeman is going to start building in 2023? Do you think you will ever buy one? Anyways, nice fish. That looks like a lot of fun!

[@StanzFam]

It looks interesting from the drawings. Could be a fun boat for sure. I know they are changing the 28’ they did to improve it, but we’ll see how it turns out before I make a final decision

[@cumminsman191]

"King of the Salmon" is the closest thing I can find to the fish in the stomach. It's a type of ribbon fish.

[@kanaletumlinson]

Great videos as always man! Is swordfish good eatin fish? Coming from Hawaii we love mahi mahi on the island.. next time I am in florida I’d love to go out on a guided trip and try to eat some swordfish fish & chips

[@StanzFam]

Thanks for watching. Very good eating! Just don’t want to over cook it.

[@jeffh5886]

Does Freeman offer a dive/fish door option? Great job nick. Awesome color on that yellow fish. (Mahi?)

[@StanzFam]

They have them in the hull mold now as an option, before it was an after market option

[@robertdouglas9345]

No AIS?

[@Pietro-ni6ow]

Nick I'm a big fan of your channel. Could you please explain the "Ole son baby"

[@StanzFam]

Old son, ol’ son, and Ole Son became a popular saying the past year. Just something by to make you laugh a little and bring a smile to your face. Almost as if Referring to someone or something as “the man” or “the one”. The big fish we want to catch is “ole Son”. It Gives a little bit of mystery, credit, and respect to the person or animal. We had a person on board make an epic harpoon shot last winter and I said “old son baby” without even thinking about it, so now that has kind of stuck. It’s in a video the second day we got 10 swords. Hope that helps explain it

[@Pietro-ni6ow]

Nick heads up to the spam bots in your comments

[@pieterhoekstra9887]

Notice the pic toward your boat stern that 1 port and 1 starboard motor were set at a different tilt height, is this intentional if so I would be interested to know why.

[@StanzFam]

Not intentional , very good eye though .

[@fjohns0812]

I was driving in a sail boat that was taking on water off of Islamorada a long time ago ( I was in the USCG) and we had a freighter almost take us out. We called him and they never answered. They were on auto-pilot and no one was on the bridge. Scary times!!

A lot of stuff I just film with a GoPro, I used to attach a rode mic to it but pretty much stopped using that set up. I have a go pro with a little windscreen glued on it now and just use the built in mic.
