To have a fish on for that long and be successful is incredible. The odds definitely do not favor the anglers, some skill there. Knot slipping, running into pots or debris, hook failure, line breaking, reel failure, angler failure, boat failure etc. etc. everything has to come together just right. 20 miles from start to finish, what an epic battle. Amazing they were able to get that fish in the boat! To anyone who has put the hours in at sea to finally be given the opportunity of a lifetime and be able to deliver, good for the captain and crew. Fwiw, whoever was steaking that beast which is no easy task on a fish of that size was doing one helluva great job, those steaks look perfect. Great to see a trophy fish like that being taken care of back at the docks so nothing goes to waste. Even with all the commercial pressure on these fish, there are some real monsters swimming out there. Pound for pound sword fish are some of the toughest fighters there are, as the article says they fight from start to finish with no let up. Congratulations to the Captain and crew, incredible catch.
