Should we be building bigger boats?

Did you hear about how big the fish was that got away?

This one didn't.

It would not fit in his 19 foot boat.

Should we be fishing from bigger boats?

Dont catch big fish !

Use smaller lures

 

Maybe a smaller line. I don't think he was planning on this catch.

 

Similar sized Pacific halibut have been caught in the Puget Sound, I am told they are so old they are full of parasites and there is not a lot of good meat in them. It is more of a trophy rather than good eating. Even without the parasites I can not imagine that 30 year old fish could be good to eat, it must be tough and stringy and not very good tasting.
