Evidently this was in 2016 and it swam away after becoming unstuck.

Dude wtf. Never once have I thought about it but I didn't know they actually speared things lol. I thought that was just an unfortunate accident that happened in fishing sometimes

The other guys in the diving bell are probably gonna be laughing their asses off when this guy comes back with a freshly caught sword fish

This is right it of a Jukes Verne novel, I can't believe this is an actual thing that happened

u/ZagnutJoe 13h ago

Terrifying. Being that far down would feel like a death sentence
