    Right on the edge of being a grander. I'm so glad this was not a harvested specimen, and more and more of my fellow anglers are tagging and releasing these fish. I just wish she was in all her color glory here

      no where near of being a grander. I've caught a grander black and a few blues over 700lbs and that fish looks to be around 750lbs.
      Tag and release is the way to go, especially with the satelite tags not just rolled up paper

      @lordofthenever-there1525 7 років тому +27

      Interestingly, the swordfish isn't in the same family as other sailfish and marlins, but they're called 'billfish' as a group (because of their faces). They aren't actually even endangered as far as I know! They're the national fish of my country, the Bahamas, but you probably aren't very likely to see in person one unless you go out fishing in more open waters.

      @cait_o_saurus 6 років тому +35

      Wet prepped specimens are actually a very important part of a natural history museum's research collection, providing a preserved tissue and muscular specimen that a drawing or skeleton can't compare to. A specimen such as this may be analysed in the future to find out what toxins the animal was exposed to when it died to indicate the quality of the ocean, or as a comparative specimen for a new species or to show how a species changes over time. It is likely this specimen will remain preserved in the collection for over 100 years!
