Catching a Giant Sawfish with Capt. Ahab and Capt. Nick Stanczyk in the Florida Keys

The fins on that fish make it look like Nessy. Congrats Brett.

Look at 'ol Brett coming out of angling retirement to catch that saw fish! After watching every Boobytrap video I can find, and even fishing on board with Brett for three days that is the first time I have seen him reel in a fish!

Great catch! I have allways been fascinated with sawfish.

Congrats on a really unique and huge catch! That will make an awesome mount for your office.

Thanks Mont! Def. exciting when that sucker came to the surface!

Awesome video bro... Thank goodness u guys were not on the bow when she came up next to the boat, Would have been ugly... Looking at that rod, it really looks like u took a knife to a gunfight!!

I wonder how often they are caught out of Florida? Has capt nick caught one before?

I think they are making it pretty well over there.... Capt. Ahab

Thanks for sharing that video. That was awesome. I have never seen a creature like that. I didn't think they were still around. Is that saw bill sharp? It sure looks nasty.

That's a cool fish!

Brett it's strange watching you fish in backcountry "brown water" in a small flats boat using a spinner.

I had to look twice to make sure what I was watching was real. lol

HA, The spinner was a photo shop gig.. He had a LP:work:

If I had a bucket or a list a saw would be very high on it for sure.
Congrats Bret!!!!:cheers:

I kinda consider that a billfish....how many types of bills do you have left to get em all under your belt?

Thats funny... Thanks guys for the replies.. I like fishing for anything really.. Going to hit the sunperch this afternoon with the little man :mpd:.. Sun Perch again with little man at Rory's crawfish boil Saturday.. Then off Swordfihing Sunday LOL.. I think as a bill fish that one ended my serch for all the spiecies over the years ... That thing did have a nasty swing I would hate to see what a hit from that bill would look like..

I think Swordfish bill artist Dan Matthews could cut himself just painting that bill LOl..

Thanks again everyone for the replies I keep watching the viseo my self everyday .. Capt. Ahab

I will def need to tape up those teeth if I get a chance to paint one.

River Monster ain't got **** on this!!!!! Did I just see a real sawfish being caught???? Wow, I'm going to sleep so I can catch one in my dreams!!

I was in Amsterdam this week and the hotel restaurant where we stayed had some sawfish bills on display. I guess they have (or had) some of them over there as well

Pretty work Ahab) that's one amazing creature sucka!!!
