Swordfish

Very interesting - a board game about commercial swordfish fishing.  I may have to try this.

Wow, thanks for getting this on my radar.

I wish it was cheaper!! Found it on Amazon for $75...

Oh yikes! I had a quick look at the game company's website and didn't see it, so I assumed it was a pre-release version and wasn't out yet. That's really steep for a board game. Maybe because it might only have a niche appeal.

Sport fishing never read so damn complicated.

Well, in my state at least, it's illegal to sell sport caught fish, so a lot of the game play in this one seems to be on building your business and staying afloat ecomonically.

If they wanted to make more realistic, they'd add all the open and closed seasons and areas and keeping up with ever-changing regulations, maybe even getting involved with the management of the fishery. That'd be too close to work for me to be a fun game, though. :p
