And then there are the long liners.

We watched local guys down in the islands do a type of long lining
from row boats. They will start out with a huge spool of very heavy
mono, probably 400 or 500 lb, row it out and set a baited drop every
100 feet or so along the heavy stuff. They come back and check the
drops every couple of days by pulling themselves along the mono by
hand, bringing it in on one side of the boat and paying it out on the
other. Intersting to watch.
