I would have to say pain.i worked on a pb for many years and did many 24 and 32 hr offshore trips.i recall one time we had hooked a sword around 3am and fought the fish for many hrs going up and dwn one side if the boat probably 30 times eliminating any other anglers from fishing that side.it is a cool thing to see a 300lb sword but they are one of the hardest fighting fish out there and if your not with heavy enough tackle you shouldnt swordfish on a pb. im talking 80-130 reel. but hey what do i know.
