A big swordfish is an abnormally large raw swordfish caught while fishing at any cage/harpoon fishing spot. Since players can only get it while fishing for swordfish, it requires 50 Fishing to get it. It is a fairly rare catch. A ring of wealth will not raise the chances of obtaining one.
To stuff the big swordfish, players must take it to the Taxidermist in Canifis. She will charge the player 2,500 coins and turn it into a stuffed swordfish. Once its stuffed, players can mount it in their Skill Hall at 56 Construction, using a stuffed swordfish and 2 teak planks, producing a mounted swordfish.
Trivia
- When players catch a big swordfish, they receive a message saying "You catch an enormous swordfish!" instead of the normal "You catch a swordfish."
- When players take a big swordfish to the taxidermist, she says "Don't point that thing at me!" a play on the swordfish's long pointed nose.
- Big swordfish are grey like a raw shark instead of the purple-pink colour of normal swordfish.
- When dropped next to a normal swordfish, players can see that a big swordfish is actually smaller than a normal swordfish.
- When attempting to cook big swordfish, players will receive the normal XP as if they had cooked a raw swordfish, and they will receive a cooked swordfish as if they had cooked a raw swordfish, as long as they don't burn it.
- When a player catches a big swordfish in Miscellania, the player tells Frodi "Sorry Frodi, I am keeping this one for myself", which Frodi replies, "Magnificent catch!"
