When Stanczyk bought Bud N' Mary's in 1978, he brought with him a healthy obsession with swordfish. The ocean waters off the Florida Keys teem with scores of hard-fighting gamefish-marlin, sailfish, tuna, dolphin, king mackerel-but Stanczyk loved the challenge of swords. Early this decade, Stanczyk and his fishing partner, Vic Gaspeny, set out to find a way to catch swordfish consistently. Six years and a couple hundred thousand dollars later, they succeeded.
