If you're not a sumo wrestler, you'll have to fight your swordfish from a fighting chair. This is the one mounted on the deck of Stanczyk's 52-foot Catch-22. When getting ready to fight a fish, the butt of the rod goes into the gimbal, and your feet go on the platform. Then you push off the platform while bringing the rod back with you. You gain line on the fish by then leaning forward and quickly reeling in what little slack you've gained. Then you do it again. And again. And again. And if the fish decides to take it all back, you start all over. When fighting a huge fish from a fighting chair you feel the incredible primitive strength of the creature not just in your hands, or your arms, but in your entire body. Your back aches. Your legs get shaky. You sweat and pant and wonder when it's going to be over-but at the same time, you're savoring every moment.
