Swordfish on the Kaboat

I know there’s a few solo skiffs and motorized kayaks on here that still post. Just wanted to share the swordfish I got here in San Diego last week off my inflatable Kaboat (kayak boat). Which is really an inflatable skiff.

Very inspirational! Curious as to the depth and manner of fishing employed? Noted you used mono. Most of the action of Florida is taken with braid and electric reels -- hardly fishing IMHO. Still on my Bucket list. For Florida the smaller fish can be taken at night as shallow as 800ft, but the big boys -- like the one you took are out in 1200-2000 in the gulf stream, which has 2-5kts of current to complicate the matter. Very stoked for you! Takes some confidence to pursue that on an inflatable boat. Congratulations!

65lb braid mainline and 150lb mono wind on. I was fishing 1500ft of water with 5lbs of lead. It was a typical swordfish leader with bait, lights and lead attached.

That's some serious "Old Man and The Sea" stuff. Too bad this site if fading away--even though it was on a Kabot not a kayak--that is an epic catch!

Good Stuff, I think a 65lb braid is an ideal choice for a small yack. No need to get pulled too fast and the smaller diameter just adds to the reel capacity.
