New World Record? (At least for daytime swordfishing)

syxx · 02-21-2007, 09:44 PM

Well went out in the daytime again for swords, with Captain Scott Stanczyk aboard the Catch 22 out of Bud N' Mary's. Angler Richard Jay Stanczyk catches 7 broadbill swordfish, including one double header, on 2/21/07! Most of them were pups in the 30-50 lb range, though we did catch one close to 100 lbs. Did not see any big ones and ended up losing one rig on our first drop, but did well the rest of the day! I don't know anyone who has caught this many with a single angler on rod and reel, at least during the day I don't know about night? Anyways have some pictures I will post when I get them copied on to the computer.

Not sure, I'm sure my uncle or his mate KJ do though, they run the charter boat and pretty much everyone in town knows everybody.

Great job that is a day to remember

Syxx,
I don't know about WORLD record, maybe Fl. Keys record.
Check into Venezuela, they catch the sh!t outa them there, and ONLY fish them in the daytime.
But good day none the less.

Edit: after doing a google search I found that some are now fishing them at night. My bad.

I know there is a doctor there that started the whole thing in the ninties, though somebody had told me the most he had caught was 6 in a day on electric reels.

Sounds like fun. Always wanted to get one in the daytime.

If it would make me catch 7 a day, every day, during the day, I'll let 'em call me whatever they want.

Lights out:

Well if you were to catch that many in a day, every day, you would have to call yourself Lights Up.

Congrats to you guys on a job well done. I spoke with Richard the last time i was down in the Keys about your success catching them during the day. I wish I could have made it out with you guys during the day but did get a chance to get one at night. Congrats again to Catch 22 and crew.
