According to the Sydney Morning Herald, fishermen in (South Coast), on the southern coast of Xinzhou, have caught a 436.2-kilogram swordfish, the largest swordfish caught in Australia and the second-largest in the world.
It is reported that on Sunday, the captain of Aledara (Ulladulla), Maryland Zettes (George Lirantzis), and fishermen Ryan (Mitch Ryan), crew Ken (Ken) and Rushton (Pete Rushton) sailed to sea 75 kilometers from (Mallacoota) in Malakuta.
In the meantime, after releasing a swordfish and a shark, the giant swordfish caught the hook.

The fish was within 50 meters of the ship, but it took them an hour and 50 minutes to pull the fish closer to the boat, and then another hour to pull the fish on board.
Maryland Zettes said they knew the swordfish should exceed 400 kilograms and would be Australia's largest swordfish so far, but not expecting it to be the second-largest swordfish caught in the world.
It is reported, currently ranked first in the world is Chile caught in 1953 swordfish, weighing 536.1 kilograms.
The (Ulladulla Game Fishing Club) president of the Allara fishing club said the swordfish had been frozen in (Ulladulla Fishing Co Op), the Aledara fishing cooperative, and would be made into specimens.
However, since the line used by the crew is not a 130lb line of the International fishing Association (International Game Fish Association), the weight record will not be officially recorded.
