Sorry if this is an ignorant question, but why? because he was fishing while his customers were getting hung up? That would piss me off too. I honestly don;t understand what the protocol is on a boat like that so if you could explain this to me I would be appreciative. I'm really not trying to be a wise-ass, just wondering what your thoughts are on this. Thanks Paul...

hey bart, capts and mates should fish at times. i've seen mates hook a fish and pass it off to a kid or to a novice to give them a chance to tug on fish. i'm just saying if i was a paying customer on a partyboat, maybe the guys on either side of him or a regular that has spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours on that boat, i would just be left with a bad taste in my mouth. if a fellow angler hangs it - so be it. think of it this way - your on the rail, it's cold and you've been fishing your ass off all day and the captain comes out of the wheelhouse drops a line in for a 20 minutes and pulls up a beast.right next to you. odds are that fish was going to eat on that drop. just being a greedy angler i guess . all that being said, it is an amazing tog - congrats to him

Gotcha. Thanks, that's how would probably feel as well. And that is a BEAST of a fish
