How many pounds of drag do you need for swordfish?

Chef's answer
12 poundsWhen swordfishing at night, most fishermen recommended putting no more than 12 pounds of drag on the fish. Tensions higher than that can tear the hook from the soft flesh of a swordfish's mouth. This is not feasible when using 5 to 10 pounds of weight and dropping up to 1800 feet.
