The sword from a kayak???

I need your dealers number.........

The fuel for the spotter plane alone will probably run you the same price as a fleet of hobies... Let alone keeping a skipjack or a bonito alive in a stealths livewell, see where im going with this????

Believe it or not, swordfish are right in LJ canyon....need to rig squid with 10/0-12/0 hook, heavy rod and reel, underwater lights, a 12lb.brick and at least 2000yds. of line. And fish them at night and if hooked up be prepared for another eight hours of fight. A sword from a kayak(unassited),possible but highly unlikely.

Sounds like a plan to me!!! Matt., George when are we doing this!!!

Next fish report how to fillet a swordfish and serve them on plate for Nachoman.!!!

This would be the best fishig report ever.

Seriously, Jim Sammons is your guy. I don't know about swordfish but he catches Marlin all the time, usually down south a bit. There are come great videos out there showing the action.

If I remember correctly, I think he told me that he even caught a marlin off Scripps pear once upon a time.

I can see it all now!

Frank ties a 12lb brick to his line and 10/0 hook.he hooks up the sword fish at la jolla canyon... The swordfish is now towin him at an amazing speed 3mph after a 7 hour battle he finally is able to subdue the beast... After use of marine glue to repair the hull he begins his 6 hour paddle back to la jolla shores which calculating the speed of the x factor plus the additional wait, it actually takes him the whole night into the morning. Where George is awaiting him with the most beatiful amazing females la jolla has.

Wow I can see it now...

Fox 11 news... Frank aka the nacho man catches a swordfish off his kayak....

Epic indeed

Where there are a couple of insane people ( let me cross that out) where there a couple of determined people like myself there will always be a way. 11 miles is nothing when you have a fish like that to share between ur brothers! Enough said!!!

I said nothing of Marlin, two very different beasts.

How about trying to catch a yellowtail first?

Swords feed in the depths and surface in order to digest their foods. When swords are baited on the surface you can put the live bait right in front of them for hours(or as long as they stay on the surface), and be left scratching your head in dis-belief; wondering why their not taking the bait! Very frustrating but keep at it and eventually you'll come across a biter.
