A boat out of Mississippi caught a 305-pound near-record swordfish on Sunday, but couldn’t find certified scales. The four anglers aboard the 35-foot CostaSV center console fishing boat Wound Tight left the boat dock near Biloxi, Mississippi, on Sunday at 5:45 a.m. They needed an early start to make an over two-hour, 130-mile run offshore to a special deep-water spot that boat owner and captain Drew Alexander has fished often. They only drifted 10 minutes before one of their baits got crushed by this huge swordfish. After a long fight, the crew landed the swordfish which was just shy of the current Mississippi record swordfish, which weighed 309 pounds 14 ounces and was caught in June 2021 by Donnie Jackson Jr. Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ #fishing #swordfish #mississippi #fishingtrip #fishingseason #swordfishing #swordfishfishing #offshorefishing #outdoors #outdoorlife 🎥: Eric McNally Story by: Bob McNally
