Swordfish, a dangerous life.

by lichinga

Fishermen looking for swordfish need to use this very peculiar kind of boat. One climbs at the top of the mast, to have a wider view of the horizon; the second is standing metres ahead of the boat, on a steel bridge where he will increase his possibility of a catch.
