Which is the more impressive uncommon sportsman feat?

A blind guy will run 7 marathons, on 7 different continents, in 7 straight days. via fark

...OR...

Dude catches swordfish with his bare hands.

I'm having trouble deciding between the two. On the one hand... Dude caught a swordfish with his bare hands. On the other hand, the logistics of getting from one marathon to the next and then actually running 183.4 miles requires a certain amount of cunning. On the third hand, blind people are a step more cunning than sighted people to begin with. Fourth hand... That's a swordfish. Fifth... Do we really want to credit a dude for doing something kinda dumb like that?

Having run a marathon

I know how difficult it is.
Not physically, really, if you're in shape for it, but mentally. It gets reeeeally boring about mile 20.
I thought the crazy guy was actually going to run on Antartica though. That's be killer, with the low temp, high wind and high elevation.
Still, I couldn't do seven marathons in seven days even with my eyes, so kudos to him.
And I didn't vote for swordfish man, cause well, I'm a regular over at fishstripes, and that swordfish is just too close to a marlin.
