Wesley's epic catch was the second time ever that a swordfish has been caught on a jetski. The first, caught in the US in 2022, only weighed 46kg -Wesley upsized that record to this 132kg monster! He single-handedly battled for over 2 hours, while fishing nearly 50km off the coast of Tasmania (AUS), to bring this beast to the surface.
