it is a given that it is a bit easier to get yourself on top of big fish, or just more numbers of fish, if you have access to a boat. however, saying this, there is still a lot of skill involved in banging a big fish, no matter where you are fishing. i don't have much experience boat fishing, and i've been on the water in the middle of a school of fish and hooking nice fish, but have had guys picking out BIG fish right under my nose.

just as there are certain techniques that are learned while fishing the beaches to entice fish, or to know where the fish will be at certain tides, these same skills are needed to be successful while fishing from the boat.

all fisherman, boat or surf, who are successful at catching BIG fish are to be commended for their skills.
