Big swordfish

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 your chances to get one.

To stuff the big swordfish, players must take it to the Taxidermist in Canifis. She will charge the player 2,500 coins and take the big swordfish away, giving them 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 gray 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 a Big Swordfish you will receive the normal XP as if you had cooked a Raw Swordfish, and you will receive a Cooked Swordfish as if you had cooked a Raw Swordfish, so long as you don't burn it.
