It's definitely a marlin. It is actually a better catch than a swordfish! A swordfish has a much longer bill, and a much taller, but shorter, dorsal fin. Did it have vertical blue stripes?
@FishingDude71 Good catch in any case! Well, they all have those stripes, so I can' say which one it is. Only the Black one is easily recognisable, since it can't move its pectoral fins! My guess would be that this is a small blue marlin.

Hi. The guy taking the video is my uncle and those fishing are my friends. Just letting you know it had vertical blue stripes.
