Catching a Daytime Surface Swordfish on live bait! - The rarest catch in the world

Season Two: Episode 4 | Hunting Surface Swords Part I

In between world tour destinations the team takes a quick break to return to one of their favorite local SoCal fisheries, the illusive surface swordfish. It’s been nearly 4 years since Anthony Hsieh and the BadCo team successfully landed a surface swordfish casting a live bait on stand up conventional tackle. With word going around about local sightings, the team prepares their newly refitted 92 Jones Goodell for a 5 day trip at some of the outer islands. It’s been nearly 2 years since anyone has fished the vessel, as it’s been in the yard for over 18 months.

Tune in for a shakedown trip to remember and some incredible never-seen-before surface swordfish footage. Some new faces make an appearance and joining the team is good friend and artist Carey Chen. Hope you all enjoy.
