Swordfish are some of the ocean’s most ferocious predators, and a recent Instagram video is proof. The footage, filmed on October 27, shows a giant broadbill swordfish ascending from the depths to attack a squid trailing two large sinkers on the end of an angler’s line. See it for yourself below:

“This swordfish followed up our squid from nearly 2000ft and attacked it!,” wrote avid saltwater angler Joshua Jorgenson, who shared the video on his @blacktiph Instagram page. Jorgenson was deep-sea fishing in Jordan when he captured the footage.
