- Part two.. what a crazy day this was!! The most physical, emotional and best day fishing I have ever experienced! We dropped 7 baits, got 6 hook-ups, lost 2 on the drive to the surface, tagged and released 3 Broadbill Swordfish and lost another on the leader boat-side. Incredible!! The stars aligned and we were gifted.
One was a dream bucket list fish, estimated close to 300kg and took 3.5hrs in itself. They fight differently these models and it was a mental battle as much as it was a physical one. It was a tough day in the harness, but nothing rewarding ever comes easy.
A little bit about the AIBT. For the first time ever in it’s 61-year history, was held in Tasmanian waters. The AIBT Tasmania was a qualifying event for the Nationals in Costa Rica, although we won't be attending.
Teams could nominate up to 7 days fishing within the 14-day competition window, with the entire East Coast of Tasmanian providing the spectacular backdrop to what was a phenomenal event!
From the 30 boats and 107 entrants a total of 29 Swordfish were tagged and released, with many more caught and lost, drawing international acclaim for record-breaking success - putting Tassie on the game fishing map!
This event brought together fishing enthusiasts from across the state and nation sparking widespread excitement and anticipation showcasing the passion of anglers and contributing to a memorable and historic event.
Enormous thanks to the sponsors Meridian Tackle and Seamaster Fishing Supplies, Florless Rods, Undertow Saltwater Apparel and Predator Tackle - this event would not have been possible without your backing and generosity. And to everyone involved in the planning and organisation of this great competition - you did a brilliant job! Thanks for watching! @itswizza

You would have to have one of the best sword fisheries in aus. Well done, you two definitely have the sword fishing dialled in and great to see so many tags going in.
It's been an insane season. They dont usually come this "easy". As of this weekend, we've done 11 swords from 11 trips now. 10 swam away (8 of tagged). As the season getting on, we boated our most recent one, a 138kg model. A nice manageable size for 2 to get in the boat.
Haha. Thanks! Not sure how I kept going, but I did, think it was combo of adrenalin and determination. I was definitely speeches at times.. it was the most insane days fishing EVER! We're a pretty well-oiled machine now 👌
