That ROV pilot knew how to work that Rigmaster 2 grabber arm on the ROV. He/she could have crushed that fish. The Rigmaster has a nominal grip force of 4448N (1000 lbs).

Great skills and a great save. Lives to see another day.

cool! i wonder how often this happens?

cool, wonder if the fish didnt have an issue already though, it wasn't swimming right, normally swordfish can avoid anything except food on a hook.

Must have been blind or something, it swam right back into the same spot and got stuck again.

I'm thinkin it was on its last fin anyhow. I remember when i had fish growing up when they were dying they would swim on their side for a couple days then die. they still did a cool thing.

Who knows how long that fish was stuck...could have been a week or 2.
Thought it was going to swim in there a 3rd time.
