Thank you for letting him LIVE! YOU ROCK
Awesome job on letting that fish go. True display of sportsmanship
😐
THANK YOU GUYS SO, SO VERY MUCH FOR LETTING THIS BEAUTIFUL FISH SURVIVE.
........the abrupt pressure change will surely kill it.
Was so pleased when you let him go thank you x
Total respect for letting him go. Kudos gentlemen.
I am 82 now and all my life I only killed to eat. never ever killed for a trophy. so congratulations to you gentlemen of the sea. thanks, Briddy.
thank you for releasing it.
In the shape it was at release any shark with in 150 feet of would have killed
Great fish of Jurassic times of today. Great people for releasing the giant fish. Great day and memories to keep on the story of the fish with friends and beer. Thanks for sharing.
Catch and release...
Glad you did not hang this one on a wall.
Good job.
Catching and releasing this Monster make this video more precious than catch and kill It. Congrats to the crew
the released was Perfect. Fish like these one deserves to live.
That was a helluva lot of fun to watch. Great job by some master fishermen.
I have so much respect for you guys putting that beautiful living creature back where it belongs,well done guys,well done,🖖👊👏
Man that was epic. What an incredible species of fish. Fricken huge . Good job men. I’m glad you guys let it go.
Damn nice you released that beast of a fish. CONGRATS TO ALL OF YOU
What a gorgeous fish. So glad you let him go back home. Good job. 👍
wow guys good fish!!! great catch & release as well!!!
Sharks ate that fish
well still good catch & release to the shark fart face! lol!!!!!
Thanks for releasing it, very good job. Very good catch.
Beautiful fish mate love your work
khalil malas that the first thing I was looking at when I started watching
Glad you let it go nice job lads.
Its amazing to find this video on youtube!! I am actually the fish that was caught and I just wanted to say that was scary as hell and for a second I thought this incredible adventure of life was almost over for me. Needless to say I was incredibly grateful to be released back into the ocean where I have unprotected sex with other fish on a daily basis. Thank you.
That’s ok.
Thank you soooo much for letting him go!!!
So glad you let him go. He was BEAUTIFUL w. a Lot of Life Left in him! I hope he doesn't EVER get all coiled up in Fish Net. It is so awful when that happens.
Of course, EVERYONE worried about letting it go. Im sure theyre glad that the sushi they just ate or the fish they had last night didnt get let go!
This is a very nice sport fishing and sport confirmed once they let the catch go. Great video. TKS Big Fish Channel and TH-cam. This is a hell of a gréât time hère. Enjoyes a lot.
I'm so glad it was catch and release.
Wise men doing the right thing!!! Respect for the crew.
That was a huge fish... wow... never seen anything like that in my life. Great job fellas...👍🏽
Sooo good they let the giant fish free! Good guys! All the best to you all!
Beautiful fish and beautiful act by these guys in letting him go. How many "trophy hunter" fisherman would do that? Great job guys!!
Great job guys beautiful fishing beautiful fish lovely day oh, I wish I could have been there with you just watching got my adrenaline going thanks for the video
As impressive as the fight and haul up! It was more impressive in the manner you guys handled this beautiful specimen!!! Well done, gents! Well done! :)
Real men would have admiration and respect for the fighting instinct this animal gave by releasing him back to his home. Good for them.
Real men would not put this fish through extreme stress just to get off in catching and releasing it they would catch and eat it when needed
It's like finding Elvis! Broad-bill swordfish is the "Best of the Best" when it comes to the culinary inclined.
Wouahhhh...Je n'ai JAMAIS ( NEVER ) vu un pareil poisson, jamais ! Je trouve super que les gars l'ont laissé vivre !!! BRAVO les gars !!! ;-)
He looked you straight in the eye. Very beautiful creature nice move on letting him live.
"you are, a genuine wanker" I love Aussies y'all are hilarious I swear
Don't believe that animals should be killed for trophies. Glad they released this beautiful creature. They have enough to worry about just dealing with all the garbage...
Great fish and victory ! Too good to keep. Thanks.
THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A VERY PATIENT FISHERMAN TO OUT WIT THIS MONSTER MANY OTHERS WOULD HAVE BROKE THE LINE WAY BEFORE OR LOST IT RIGHT BESIDE THE BOAT. ALSO DISPLAYED A VERY NICE RELEASE GOOD JOB GRANDPAWWW LOL AWESOME
Great catch, and release. Well done.
Great sportsmanship. I totaly support catch and release. Let someone else catch it again and again.
Totally...nothing more enjoyable for a fish then getting stuck in the mouth over and over by a hook..I'm sure if you started eating and someone snagged you in the mouth you would want it to happen over and over...Fishing to eat is one thing, torturing fish for amusement is sick....and that's what catch and release is all about...if you need food, fish....if you don't need food, don't fish...simple and easy.
@@terrikrystofalski789 pollocks are known for stupidity. Im sure the fish would rather have been eaten. Dumb ass.
@ i do. I served in the Navy for over 20years. Do you?
I myself support catch and eat
@@GlaticKnight67 ....right.
I Love too see that. An releaseing. Salute💪
It's great to see them let it go, but I can't help feeling that it may not have survived. By this I mean you need to look into swim bladders in fish. I remember (as a kid) reading about the swim bladder expanding quickly when a fish is brought up too fast from deep water. I maybe wrong but, I think that's why it was belly up for quite some time when they let it go.
Note the massive hemorrhaging on its skin. You drag anything up to the surface when it’s accustomed to such a heavily pressured environment, it’s as good as dead. Bravo, gents!
They’re healed wounds from cookie cutter shark bites. Common on swordfish. Thanks for the input though.
Man the sword on that fish is huuuge. Beautiful animal
Thanks for letting him go, no reason to kill one of Gods creatures for sport... Can't stand when people do that, I'd say they're acting like animals but even animals don't do that.
Cool video guys,,, catch n release is the right thing to do.
Thank you for released this beautiful creature. Amazing
R.E.S.P.E.C.T great fight and release class act protect the giants they dont deserve to die on a hook or net well done!!!
Wasn’t quite old man and the sea but very entertaining! nice fish!
Nice catch guys...supreme release.
Thank you for letting him go!
Good catch boys and even better release
Purple gladiator!!! And ya let her loose to reproduce!! Aussies rock! ✌🏻️from mass. Usa
The commenters are killing me with so much emphasis on the release. You probably fed the sharks. Swordfish taste good. If your not eating your catch then you’re just out there screwing around.
What a fish! Good catch my man!
Fantastic catch and release
Mad respect lads.
Beautiful fish!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Wow! Great catch!
Glad to see that part of our humanity is not populated only by morons. By freeing this magnificent living being, you are saving a part of all our futures. Well done.
That thing was full of air after being brought up from the depths. Sharks got that fish for sure you should’ve brought it to the market.
Or at least have a fish party invite all your friends for dinner that what we do here in California
I don't believe that fish would have lived through all of that.
@Maximus Decimus Meridius I am an avid muskey fisher, and used downriggers in over 60 feet to catch the big ones. They like it down there. The only problem was the swim bladder got so big from the pressure that it comes out of their mouth, and had to poke it with a syringe. Not only pressure, but we pull them above the thermocline, shocking them from the temperature, and shocking them again by fighting them. Most of the ones caught went down just like that fish. Upside down. It was probably weak, and beloted with air. Most of the musky's I fought died. They probably all did. I stopped fishing them that way. It probably would have been best to keep that huge fish, and eat it or something.
Awesome that you let it go!!!
Zwhat effect does bringing a fish up from 1500 feet have on the animal? I know humans cannot come up from depths fast or they get the bends but what about these huge fish does it affect them the same way?
If that fish was actually 1500 ft down then it most likely died after releasing it. The swim bladder doesn't have sufficient time to release gas causing a rupture that will inevitably kill the animal. The difference between sea level and 1500 feet deep is about 729 psi, so the chances are it didn't have time to acclimate thus ensuring its demise.
😂
Thanks for releasing the fish
I kind of felt that the captain had no intention of landing the fish no matter what. He nearly lost it a dozen times before they let it go, if he'd been my skipper I'd have sacked him immediately after.
Awesome catch and release!
After few hours that fish will die. Reason is the huge stress and changing of fishs blood sells.
lol just put your boat side aligned with the current, and let it drift slowly.. so you get the fish in the other side of boat that current carry you(so the fish line do not go under the boat). To maneuver like this look messy.. I am a sailor and been fishing from boats like this for 40 years. .. Sweet fish btw :) its fun to deep sea fish :)
Except swords swim faster than the current and love going under the boat.
500lbs and 50mins. It’s fair to say this is how you knock them over quickly. AUSSIE STYLE
@@YouFishTV eh true :).. forgot about fish u got.. i typed it when i tough it was a slow bass or something.. :) ..still felt little bit weird boat maneuver.. i am just picky .. no worry.
try get 1 of those th-cam.com/video/yT1EL9kpel4/w-d-xo.html :) had no idea they got that big..
enjoyable catch and release! In a way, fish finally appreciated it wasn't going to be harm
I commend you for the catch and even more command you for the release
Nice catch 👍👍👍
That's awesome that they let it go. She was pregnant. Great job
Another click bait video. Should have put Giant Sword Fish caught in 1500 feet of water for the title, so I could have passed this video up. Thought you caught something different or special. Surprised the eyes didn't pop out, and more than likely it died before it ever reached home depth. You could tell it was bloated and in shock when released.
If all the me on this boat took their shirts off, and pants off 😁, and then dance to the music at the intro, rubbing butts to butts 🤩!!!
Thanks!
Absolutely no point in returning it to the water. Having been raised ("hauled up") rapidly from 1,500 feet (pressure = 660 psi./45 bar), its swim-bladder would have burst early on in the ascent and the gas that the bladder contained will have diffused into the surrounding tissues to expand and cause further damage as it was finally raised to the surface. This will the cause the fish to be unable to swim in a balanced way and to be constantly fighting buoyancy problems. In other words it will be unable to hunt (it's a predatory species) and so starve to death, slowly and possibly very painfully.
Unless, of course, swordfish don't have a swim bladder (but I think they do), in which case please ignore this comment (rant?).
I hope you enjoyed your moment of pleasure because I bloody sure the fish didn't. Notwithstanding, I have no problem with you catching it but I do have a real problem with the drawn out consequences for the damaged fish when you return it the water. Please, next time, just kill it and eat it.
Martin. Swordfish often rapidly ascend and descend up to 600m. They do have a swim bladder and aren’t immune to barotrauma but the likely hood of this one surviving are extremely high given it was hooked outside the mouth and was able to descend several atmospheres on its own in order to decompress.
This is backed up by a number of sat tagged swords in our fishery which went on to survive perfectly. By tagging and releasing these fish we gain a greater understanding of them so that we don’t have to guess and assume like you have.
How did you like the tag em Rod?? Looks the business
Bloody awesome. Exactly what we want in a sword rod. Much better than some other blanks I’ve seen marketed as sword rods.
I wonder how old that fish was? He was a beauty! That's one fish that you will always know. He even had his bill pearced so if he is caught again the peace of hook will be there. I'm glad yall cut the hook instead of trying to pull it out and cause more damage to the bill. Great job guys! Awesome video!
member of the swordfish family
wthell kind of fish is that??? it looks like a very old rusty fish.hopefully, the next person/people to catch this thing is as nice as you guys and release afterwards.
Catch and release, the best sport.
Ok, that was a beautiful fish...congratulations, AND you should have brought it home and eaten it. If this species is endangered, than don’t go out into it’s habitat to further disrupt it’s life. Leave it alone. Let the population thrive until they can be caught for food.
should have cut off the first 10 or 12 min.
Oh really...and how many videos have you posted....Bet I know
Yeah i'm glad for the fast forward button,,,
Guess you guys werent wondering how much line was left on the reel. That fish took tons. I was on the edge of my seat
Massive Swordfish...👍👍👍👍
THATS A LOTTA HORSEPOWER...NICE,,AN HONDA NEVER LETS U DOWN....NICE PACKAGE...
Hi guys, thanks heaps for your awesome comments. Just for those who don’t know we have a scientist here in Australia called Dr Sean Tracey who studies swordfish. His area of expertise is satellite tagging recreationally hook and line caught large swordfish from 1500-1700ft deep. His research has shown the survival rate of fish caught like the one in this video is extremely high, in fact likely. Satellite tagging has seen many fish of this caliber go on to thrive after release and travel all over the world before returning back to this area. This particular fish estimated at 500lbs was landed in only 50 minutes then swam away very strongly and was almost certainly unharmed. I hope that addresses your concerns about whether the fish survived. Thanks everyone!
Do deep sea fish experience anything akin to the "bends" that divers suffer?
Just think of the depth it was hauled 1500ft ooghous !! God bless you for respect to His Creation may it live longer for others to have chance of seeing it in future .
I for one think it's rediculas to put anything through the hell you pay big money to put these magnificent creatures through to make you feel big
These fish don't need your scientist research. Dave Survivor millions of years on their own
The only justifiable reason to hook any fish is for food
Stephen Smalldridge Agree. Grew up freshwater lake fishing, abided by all fish laws, got licenses once we were old enough, and pan fried everything we caught! By the way, shad roe season’s about to start! 😋
Very classy move guys , she belongs back in the sea ! You are true sportsmen and gentlemen !
BF-totally agree. Fish gets to be that big, it deserves to live. Class act of letting it go. They have the video evidence, so it is all good.
If it belongs to the sea, dont drag it out of it for fun...
I'm glad that you recognized it as a female. Most nonsportfishermen assume that because it's so large that it's a male. I used to go to the docks at Morehead City, NC, to watch the annual blue marlin tourney. I never gave any thought to what became of the winning marlin. Well, my last year going there was because the 700+ lb. trophy fish ended up being buried in my next door neighbor's garden to rot as fertilizer. So essentially it was killed so the winner could hoist it up to take its picture! That totally disgusted me. Don't get me wrong: I'm not at all opposed to hunting and fishing, in fact I did both when I was younger. But I just can't condone not eating the kill yourself or selling or giving it to somebody else to eat. I'd go on the fishing piers and it would bother me to see even a pin fish rotting in the sun at the fisherman's feet. He could have kicked it back in in just 6". Just not right. 🐬 🐡 🐟 🐠
@@ilyberth for the food and Glory my dad use to say no one saved me any Buffalo to hunt why should save any swordfish
if its a sport, It isn't classy. Its torture to the poor animal.
Great people for releasing the Fish when could have collected mega dollars for it.
Yes how about go and see what traumatic stress they caused the fish just for getting there kicks
One look in that fish's eyes and I was heartbroken and then they let it go:))))))))))) That is what sport fishing is all about. But I still love seafood! Special fish that was.
when you are watching deep sea fishing, YOU BETTER FAST FORWARD TO THE END!😃😃
Which is exactly what I did!
Me too 👍

Thanks for sharing this film footage of a true monster of the deep! Great job on getting her in and even greater job letting her go!
Awesome catch and release! That fish deserved to fight another day! Not everything needs to go up on a wall! Great job guys!
@@FubarGuy666 you're dumb
@@FubarGuy666 U made no sense man!
.......the abrupt pressure change will surely kill it.
@ I think you're right, if they really pulled it up from 1500 feet, can't believe it can survive. But what do I know? A lot of this catch-and-release, "So long buddy!" bollocks is just that.
@ Ever notice "some" species have their stomachs hanging outside their mouths or eyeballs bulging but but other species don't when you pull them up from several hundred feet or more? There is a reason for this. Notice this fish's insides were not hanging out nor was his eyeballs. He will be ok, I promise.
True Sportsmen, damn good sight to see. You guys give the title meaning.
nice, that will feed a family of 4 for months. i heard big fish like that one don't taste that good the smaller ones keep better flavor. thanks for sharing.
Thank you thank you thank you for letting it live. it's so much fun to go fishing it's so much fun to bring something like that to light. Thank you for sharing your experience. it is just so much more to Let It Be, and know that you did. Respect the journey
Damn, that's a Beautiful fish. I can see that could be very dangerous as well. Great job!
Given how much swordfish costs per pound, they just let a few thousand bucks go. Well done 👍 helping to sustain the species for generations to come.
True that fish would have paid for your trip, but every thing isn't about money putting your hands on it and photographs is good enough sometimes.
Think it's black marlin
@@FubarGuy666 I am real man and I'm also a land lubber I'll leave the under water photography to the Jacques Custoues (forgive my spelling) of the world they are far more qualified than I frankly I like to eat fish, however I respect their decision to release this creature back to the deep. The sea is not my domain she--t megladon may still exist don't want to be his lunch
@ThatZenoGuy, lol
Sad but true.
@@stevenyap1124
Don't have one. Idiot.
I don't know about salt water but catching fresh water fish down deep and bringing them up causes injuries that usually lead to death. In my area its recommended not to fish deep in waters that have size slots or protected fish because anything caught deep is likely to die from the pressure and temperature changes when brought to the surface. Seems like that guy was pretty lively though, hopefully it survived!
William Brandon Davis that fish was gravely injured.
@@TheYoyozo I'm being nice but I agree with you. I have seen fish taken from those depths and their eyes were popping out of their heads when they got them to the surface. Still alive but not for long.
