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.

Don't tell me that lovely lady hasn't received her helmsman merit badge
over the thousands of nautical miles you've traveled. Shame on you.

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.

Well, he did mention three in the cockpit. Want to join Tim and me?

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

She can manage the basics but precision maneuvering is not her forte.

The question is, 'why not release it'? Catching it would be a hell of a thrill, if
the thing could be released without too much harm.

These guys seem to have the right attitude. Although I don't necessarily agree with
the 'record catch' scenario.

Why catch a fish like that at all, or even try? The act of catching it
puts a terrific strain on the fish.
