Is Aussie swordfish bigger than Florida swordfish?

Looks like they fish about the same depths as we do 1,600-1,800 feet on the bottom.Sometimes we used up to three drops but they get tangled so bad most have cut back to two or even a single bait.
We use 6-10 lbs. of weight,lead,concrete,whatever, to hold bottom depending on line test and current.

Asking for a friend.

Fair Dinkum!

Australia has some of the best slang and sayings. One of my favorites.

"Pull me a pint mate. I'm as dry as a nuns nasty."

It WAS the 1980 version of Humanoids from the Deep :)

There’s a 1996 version that i heard wasn’t that good.

I remembered it from the days of watching Bob Wilkins on Saturday nights, and OLD HBO (Back when they stopped broadcasting around midnight).

I didn’t know HBO stopped broadcasting at midnight at one time.

Interesting.

“I didn’t know HBO stopped broadcasting at midnight at one time.”


Oh,you young whippersnappers!

I guess you don’t know what a test pattern on the TV is. :-)
