Greatest Swordfish Fishing in the World

What is the toughest fish in the ocean? Some people think it's a giant tuna; others a grander marlin; and many believe it's a massive shark, but they're all wrong! There is only one gladiator of the sea. This fish grows over 1500lbs, can swim deeper than 7000ft, and frightens nearly any fish it encounters. The Broadbill Swordfish! I am on a mission to catch one over 1000lbs, and there's only one place in the world where a fish that size is common: New Zealand. A country known for its beauty and remote location — home to a legendary fisherman, Matt Watson. He's been filming fishing shows for over 20 years. From jumping on fish out of helicopters to catching giant marlin on paddleboards, his fearless style has earned him global respect in the fishing community. Matt has caught more swordfish over 500lbs than anyone else on the planet, including one weighing over 1000lbs. For the past five years, Matt and I have been planning a trip together, and after a 13-hour flight to New Zealand, we finally got to shake hands. ▼ Subscribe to Matt's YouTube Channel: @UltimateFishingTV ▼ BlacktipH Store: https://blacktiph.com/collections ▼ Matt Watson Social Media: • Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/mattwatson_thefishingguy • Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/ultimatefishing.tv ▼ Additional Footage Provided By: • Tightlines Media • Ultimate Fishing • Matt Watson • IGFA ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ABOUT BLACKTIPH ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ BlacktipH Fishing brings you some of the most exciting fishing videos on the web.
