Big Sword Fishing on a Rubber Duck – Well, for months, P-Soul member Chris has been taking out his little inflatable and catching some great fish from it from 100+ pound Bluefin to Mahi mahi to Makos and Threshers. His next goal was to get a swordie from his inflatable. In all seriousness, I was a little nervous when he was telling me about this because I know how aggressive swordfish are.
Well, after months of trying to put the puzzle pieces together, he did it and it was as scary as I thought it might be. Maybe not for Chris, but definitely me.
“It breached twice next to me and looked absolutely massive. Really got the adrenaline going but if you’ve watched my videos you know that just mean I might smile a little.
I haven’t mentioned this other places but swordfish are nuts! She charged me several times and I was able to just hit the throttle and keep ahead of her and then when she was at leader she would swipe back and forth hitting the boat and prop. It was like a slow motion attack and big thuds. So I’d just let off the drag and motor away then fight her back to the boat.”
