15 hour Solo offshore trip leads to my first swordfish. I took my 25 foot ranger 75 miles offshore on a single engine to catch a single fish. Burn up my Banix but still landed the fish of a lifetime. Plenty of mistakes were made but in the end everything worked out.

Great fish brother, makes it even better on a solo trip getting it done all by yourself that's what a real man does

Great video bro. You said you would review the reel, I'd like to know what you think of the Banax 1000

@georgesilva3408 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome video! Congrats on your catch. I must say it's kind of dangerous doing it by yourself and into the dark, if something goes wrong u toasted. I just bought a Banax 1000 and i don't think they are made for swordfishing, but you got the job done. Is the reel still working? Would you recommend it?

@SaltyPirate71 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, you NEVER reneg on going with your buddy offshore. A friend doesn't let friends go 80 miles offshore by themselves, even if it means getting up early while hungover and puking on a 4 hour boat ride. Take some Goody's, pound down some Gatorade and grab your pair. That being said, going offshore after big fish alone is not a bright idea. It's ok and nothing ever happens, until it isn't and it does.

@joestorozynsky287 2 жыл бұрын

I have to agree… both ways…. But honest man…. Not smart doing that by yourself that far offshore… when shit happens, it happens fast. Having a second person can keep you alive in even a minor incident on a boat. Hope you take a second thought next time

I hope you report this to Banax so they can replace your reel as well as improve their gears & equipment to a higher performance level, the level needed to use their products without worry about such things happening to us when we fish.

@philipflores2365 2 жыл бұрын

Question so is the reel rated to handle a swordfish or can the drag not handle it. In the market for one.

@sctowey5 2 жыл бұрын

It’s more of a deep drop reel. It can definitely handle a small sword but anything over 120 lb is probably too much.

How much would you charge to take 2 guys from texas out for sword fish and tuna?

@sctowey5 3 жыл бұрын

I am a license captain but I do not run a charter business. I also do not hold the commercial permits to take people out for hire. There’s plenty of good charter companies out of Surfside that you could go with. They usually run about $1500 for a swordfish trip
