In 1980-82, I ran a lot of ocean racing boats. (The ones with the tall stick thingys in the middle of the deck and the wheel in the back end.) Anyway, there was alot of miles done just delivering the boats from race to race. We would often troll with tin or metal, occasionally with flying fish we would find on deck in the mornings even. Hooked up a mako, barracudas, blues, sunfish and even a sea turtle! We would "reel" them in with these huge cross connected coffee grinders, the big mama winches with 20" diameter drums. Little over kill, but was fun. Given the amount of trolling we did, we really didn't catch squat.
