Baby Swordfish
This is a baby swordfish. It’s incredible to think but that tiny fish can grow to be over 1000 pounds! Billfish like this come in a variety of species such as sailfish, sawfish, swordfish and marlin. The largest marlin ever caught on rod and real weighed 1,560 pounds and measured 14 feet, 6 inches in length, however, there are tales of a longliner catching a marlin off of Venezuela that weighed over 4500 lbs, in 1976. Apparently, it was so large it had to be cut into three pieces to be weighed. There is a replica at the marina entrance of the Cultural Pavillion of the Republic.
