Swordfish
(Xiphias gladius)
Swordfish are a highly prized game fish. They are excellent eating and a
strong fighting fish. Fishing has been real good in this area in recent years.
Most recreational anglers don't fish for them because of the expense. It
requires a seaworthy boat capable of fishing offshore in deep water during
the night, as well as expensive tackle.
