Man that's a lot of fish!

It sure is. I'd really like to catch a big fish someday but it would
be difficult from our boat, especially with just the two of us on
board. You'd really like to have an experienced person at the helm to
back the boat down and keep the fish positioned properly, along with
another two or three people to help out in the cockpit.


With enough inducement, perhaps Tim and I would fly down and be
'mates' to help you
drag it in.

Have to be honest, I wish it were a 'catch and release' operation.


Why would anyone decent want to catch a fish like that?

There was a time that you would.
