And how many of you that go "offshore" actually carry a med kit capable of handling the type of injuries that can be incurred from big fish? And if you do, do you know how to use it properly? Can you stabilize a victim that get bashed by say a decent shark in the cockpit and takes a 5" to the bone gash in the leg at the very least? Half the battle if being able to handle injuries that COULD happen. Not panicing about them WHEN they happen. Any boat that goes out should have the med supplies capable of stabilizing a victim of injury enough that they can run them closer to land and meet the CG en route.
Nevermind a med kit, how many carry a pair of pliers that can cut any hook you carry?
