Burleimi Loc: Baton Rouge/Grand Isle, La
 
I have to admit, this was 99% due to my son, Hays’ research and homework. All 5 of us on the boat had a turn reeling during the 2 hr fight. We were fishing on a ledge in 1500’ of water about 90 miles south of Grand Isle. The bait was down for only about 15 minutes when we saw the rod tip stop bouncing. That’s supposed to be one of the signs of a fish, so we started reeling. Sure enough, it took off several 100’ of line and we saw it jump a half mile away. We went nuts when we finally got it in the boat. It weighed 193 lbs the next morning after being on ice for 12 hrs.
Fisherman were me, my son Hays, brother Pat, and friends Micah and Josh.

Some of the best eating fish you can catch. Wife used to have a co-worker would bring her several pounds of it.
We made swordfish salad.

nice catch guys, great team effort. although I always feel bad when I see another Billfish killed instead of released. swords that big are few and far between.

Great Team effort! Nice catch, one of my favorite fish to eat. Can’t get it around here. Last time I was able to get it, I was on Vacation in Hawaii. Great job, enjoy all the good eats.
