How rare is the 200 kg "giant" swordfish caught in Vietnamese fishermen's net?

A sailfish weighing up to 200 kg was sold to a trader for 14 million VND by a boat owner in Vung Tau City. This is one of the giant fish that brings in a large income for fishermen.

On the morning of April 11, a fishing boat just docked at Con Son (Vung Tau City) and brought back a "giant" sailfish weighing up to 200 kg. It took 5 men a lot of effort to bring this giant fish to shore. Photo: Nguoi dua tin.

The sailfish was nearly 3m long and about 90cm wide. Its head was as sharp as a sword tip. Weighing in at 200kg, it was one of the largest sailfish ever caught by fishermen. Photo: Nguoi dua tin.

Catching such a large marlin is not common. Ms. Hue Nguyen, the owner of the fishing boat that caught the "giant" marlin, said that their boat set off from Con Son to the Ca Mau sea area and after 3 days at sea, they were lucky enough to catch the giant marlin. Photo: Nguoi dua tin.

When the 200 kg sailfish was pulled onto the boat, everyone on the boat was extremely happy. After being brought ashore, many traders asked to buy this sailfish and it was eventually sold for 14 million. Photo: Nguoi dua tin.

Normally, fishermen often catch sailfish weighing about 50 - 70 kg. Therefore, a sailfish weighing 200 kg is considered a "monster". Photo: fishbazaruto.com.

To date, only a few lucky people have caught marlin weighing 200 - 270 kg. By catching giant marlin, fishermen have a large income and become the motivation for them to love the sea more. Photo: fishbazaruto.com.
