I caught a 125 sword many moons ago that took an hour to land on 40lb fluoro leader. After that I quickly learned how to respect these beasts. I can't imagine one close to 600 lbs! Sweating and sore just thinking about it lol...

Respect is what they deserve. They can be an absolute nightmare when brought boat side. They see you as their problem and have the weapons to deliver. When I was stationed in Montauk in the Coast Guard a large sword was thought to be subdued and was brought alongside. The mate grabbed the bill and was run through with the bill entering the armpit and coming out behind his neck. He was very lucky to not have been killed.
