I am absolutely amazed that you noticed the line was wrapped around the rod tip while having a 400+kg swordfish throwing a tantrum right next to you. Respect!
Bloody hell that has got to be the most epic fishing footage I have ever seen. Heart in mouth stuff from hook up to release. Big effort from the two anglers and everyone else on board. A moment to remember for life.
Absolutely amazing!!!! Speechless Your boat, works for you so well for you. Stole the rod holder idea set up. I like the whole not leaning the rod when you are setting up. Very efficient. I'm 40 and live in California and I can say hands down best saltwater show ever. Good mix of action education and lots of good tag and releases. Keep up the good work skip.
Awesome catch! Good to see it was released too. Way better than killing it just to weigh it and get a photo. Seeing the pure excitement and joy from the crew when the fish swam away when released to fight another day is what big game fishing is all about.
I have literally been down to the boat shop today as I have been binge watching your guys videos for the last week or so after going out on the ocean for the 1st time ever fishing just the other week. I absolutely loved it. Now after watching this I just want to get out there even more. How awesome is this. Well done.
Best emotional journey of heart & soul to catch & release a monster of the deep. I can’t believe you all hung in (especially the first angler) so long. Amazing Vid.. thank you for taking us all with you 👍🏻
Wonderful beautiful fish I live in the hood but one day I will get out of this place and I will catch a beast like that this video has impact me thank you guys for sharing this video
Kudos to the guy for sticking with it for all that time. Don’t think most people have any idea how energy sapping fighting a big fish is. Prob still walking hunched over!
yea.. out of all the videos I've watched on Ultimate Fishing, this by far has to be one that hits home for me. I felt the pain and has my interest to wanting to fight one.
Amazing job guys!!! Absolutly nothing but respect and admiration on an amazing fight of a life time and sharing it with us. Also for the fact that u guys tagged and releasing it instead of keeping it as a wall ornament which many people would have done just for bragging rights on a fish that's surely a world record fish, if not its surely pretty damn close to it. Thats definitely a fish we wanna keep in the ocean to keep breading more hard fighting monsters. If only you guys could have gotten some measurements of it but the video speaks for itself. Keep uo the good work gents and love you videos. Always extremely entertaining.
Simply amazing video for us and one hell of a fish for you guys . .they best video on the net that shows the true power of swords and how much goes into crewing a boat and keeping everything together
OMG! Same thing happened to us 3 months ago in Curacao, on a LP with 200lbs. We couldn’t catch it, and broke (on purpose) the line after about 10 hours! Ours was also a beast, we filmed it couple of times, but I think yours was bigger by 200lbs. These animals are monsters of the deep!! Thanks for sharing this video, and I am happy you released it....
I just wanted to give you all props for releasing the fish . I can understand the desire to make it an official record but knowing it’s out there making babies for your kids and grandkids to experience us worth so much more . It’s my dream to catch a sword or a big marlin someday . #1 on my bucket list I have got my number 2 and 3 bucket list fish . White sturgeon (240 lbs)and a giant blue fin tuna ( 500 lbs tuna) both released
Hey bro mean vid! just wanted to say ive heard an old saying that if you put a T-shirt on insidout and back to front and completely by accident...that it means money is on your wayy in this case SWORD! love the videos mate keep em coming 🙌
Me too, I was wondering the same! Matt says something like: "Now we gotta make sure we do a clean job and get him away in good conditions." So my guess is that they get it back to the boat and sort of "revive" her until she looks fresh and sufficiently rested? Please Matt, enlighten us!
Love this shit, epic epic just fucking epic, great viewing stuff to all the crew involved..a moment in time all you lads will remeber for life.. sen bloody sational, what a fish & what a battle🤙
That sounds like the one caught off Mayor Island about 50 or so years ago. The angler got seasick at the very end and the fish died and sank and they could not lift it off the bottom. It was said to be over 6 meters long.The boat was called the Abalone and was skippered by Ses Jack. I were living in Tauranga at the time and were listening to the reports coming in while they were playing it. If I remember correctly the angler was taken to hospital after it.

Absolutely
at night =D
Throwing a tantrum while he's holding it on a 5 foot leash. That's a sign of years of experience and being a world class game fisherman
World class deckhand abilities

Randell graham hey thanks Randell. Appreciate the feedback and well try get more of this sort of stuff for serious fishers.

Man that was brutal, there's no way my old bricklayers back could put up with that, i'd be in a wheel chair. Great experience, well done
Fricking epic!! Well done, boys!!
That is phenomenal. I have experienced catching a Sword but compared to this mine was a herring, Well done you guys.
Hey bro mean vid! just wanted to say ive heard an old saying that if you put a T-shirt on insidout and back to front and completely by accident...that it means money is on your wayy in this case SWORD! love the videos mate keep em coming 🙌
What i remember the most from this video "weeheehee!" And "woohoohoo!"
fantastic video, incredible fish. would love to try it sometime
Few battle scars up the side of the boat no doubt haha! Such a wild fight!
Awesome job lad's. That's was an epic fight! 👌
Wow !!!!! That sword fish is a Bad Boy Billy !!!!!
may be the best fishing show out here.
#MATTWATSON excellent work, you know,
to not die on the rod before the fish.
That is the biggest swordfish I have seen in years.
Epic T'N'R. Love seeing them T'N'R you guys are beasts
fish from another dimension
You're a crazy bastard Matt, but god it's good! Well done fellas!
Awesome fight guys! Well done indeed!
These guys in whitianga had a sword on for 28 hours and ended up losing it
I would like to know why it wasn't released when it first got to the boat after it was tagged and still green?
Me too, I was wondering the same! Matt says something like: "Now we gotta make sure we do a clean job and get him away in good conditions." So my guess is that they get it back to the boat and sort of "revive" her until she looks fresh and sufficiently rested? Please Matt, enlighten us!
EPIC WORK 👏👏👏
Epic, great video, well done, what a battle.
Insane, Well done lads
It’s so big sharks wouldn’t touch it, they heard about him, far north for life 🤙🏾
Great fishing 🐠🐠🐠
Amazing fish of a life time awesome video. Wow just wow
Great Talica promo
Incredible capture there team, thats gonna be a hard one to beat!
Nice fishing 🎣🎣👍👍👍👌👌👌💕💕
Love this shit, epic epic just fucking epic, great viewing stuff to all the crew involved..a moment in time all you lads will remeber for life.. sen bloody sational, what a fish & what a battle🤙
what stand-up harness are you using?
Unreal 🧐 what a great upload :)
How long did it actually take you to reel it in ? But Congrats by the way. Awsome !!!
Somebody has to fine tune that fishing guitar. Amazing gear you got!
lost for words, amazing.
what is the model of fishing rod used in the video?
It's a Shimano Tiagra Ultra
5.6 feet?
@@UltimateFishingTV what drag was used? I got it right , 20 kg of drag for 8 hours of combat ?
Amazing well done all great channel :)
Is there a time stamp that it breaches?
Crazy how a fish could fight for hours and still not tire 🐎
Tag and brag ....... Hats off to all of you !!!! :-)
The first three seconds sound like the beginning of a DeadMau Song lol
Bro , people don’t understand the power those animals have. I have to say, a big swordfish is probably stronger than a big tuna ... in my opinion
Awesome work team and your son could be part of it !
How do you have cell service? I could not catch the name
So epic! Damn that tail so massive!
Awesome footage what a horse of a fish congtrats.
What a beast of a fish, absolutely ruined the angler. Amazing video Matt, this deserves an award
My pop has told me of a fight they had with a broadbill that went for 23 hours and 59 minutes and they ended up losing it

Wait... Is this Matt Watson from Supermega?!
Awesome, simply awesome.
What does it mean when the fish got shot?
Spectacular job
The Jandals are the only reason any of this was possible
So happy to see it swim away but boy I wish I knew what it weighed haha
Wild! Beyond epic!
I thought that was a Chinese instrumental intro.
where was this sword caught. off what city and country?
new Zealand not sure of the city
Subscribed 🤙🏽
Insanity.
Watching that fish swim away 👏👏👏
