What are the swordfish limits for rec fishing? I thought they were 3 per boat, one per person.

Eric,
You're correct...this is from NMFS...
The recreational daily swordfish retention limit is 1 fish per person, with a maximum of 3 fish per vessel. The minimum size for swordfish within the recreational fishery is 47 inches, lower jaw-fork length.
There may be a commercial permit that allowed more.

Commercial permits allow 15 per trip.
