Rent "Jaws". it will give you a hint of how it works.
They also chase the fish with the boat. Eventually the fish wears
itself out and you reel it up close enough to the boat to gaff it
(Gaff being a flying gaff, not a hook on a stick)
THEN you winch it in.

BTW to get an idea how tough a fish is, one of the fishing shows
around here (Randy White?) had a little anecdote about this. They had
an arrogant SCUBA diver who was picking on the fishermen and the
challenge came out. The diver geared up and the fisherman tied a 6
pound test line to him on a light spinning rod. He went in the water
and started swimming away. The diver took the line out pretty fast for
a minute or so. Within 5 minutes he was exhausted up next to the boat.
You can fight a big fish for hours,

Must have been a hoot to reel these in, sore arms I bet. Took me 35
minutes to land a 30 lb King Salmon, and when we netted it and it fell
to the boat, the lure lipped hooked fell out. But perhaps it was
finesse, but my arms were shaking none the less.

Now for 881 lbs.... I can't imagine catching that on rod and line
without a team of people and a lot of time. And the boat better chase
it, 881 lbs of fish bolts, that line better spool.

Some friends and I charted a boat out of Hattaras a while ago and got
into 70-80 pound tuna. It is exciting to fight these guys but you have
to be in pretty good shape. We were getting these fish up to the boat
in 25-30 minutes but it was steady work.

Bet it was a hoot. With 80 lbs, bet you have rod cups, that could be
dangerous to pull back if the fish makes a run....

Might have to try that someday.

When I was in the Ft. Lauderdale area a few years ago, I was talking
to some charter guys and told them that if someone at my place reeled
in a 14 lb cat fish they really thought they had something.

One guy looked at me and said. "sir, we use larger stuff than that for
bait..."

Next time I'm down there.... I'm going!

All because it was caught in a net and not by a rod.

Too bad he didn't have a rod on the boat. Poke a hole in the fish's
mouth and spin a yarn. You might get on the cover of a fishing
magazine.
There are also the sponsorships, "I caught this fish on my Shakespeare

That projecting about "girliemen" sure has some deep roots in your

personal butt plug, or what, Suckling Don the Coward?

Hooked on the rod and net used to bring it into the boat. Get creative.

I doubt a net, more likely gaff and winch.

How many people can lift 881 lbs in a net?

You have to be able to spin the fish tale with some bit of truth and a
lot of imagination.
