Luc Ofield, owner of Anglers Choice Tackle Store, caught the fish just half an hour before midnight after a more than four-hour effort to pull it in using a stand-up rod and reel.

According to The Marlin Club in Shelter Island, who weighed the catch, the swordfish came in at a whopping 666.2 pounds — more than 100 pounds above the state record set just last year by another San Diego-area crew.
