Pics of a 12' Swordfish sunning during the day....

Chris Couture · 07-11-2008, 01:07 AM

A few friends of mine who do some serious deep dropping got some photos of this swordfish while they were on a spot.

He said the fish came right up to the boat and was about 12' from tip to tip...

Nice seas.....

That reminds me ofhow swordis would actdown in Mazatlan, Mexico. We would circle them slow trolling a dead bait of some kind and almost always got a bite, I've never seen them on the surface during the day around here though. Thats awesome.

Thats cool. My Grandpa used to Harpoon them in the Northeast. WHat did they throw at him?

Our shimano rep said he has seen a couple out there sunning at the spur in the past 15 years but has never caught one on the surface.

Hood,how big was that one your mom caught down in Mazatlan? It was over 200 wasn't it?
