That's not quite the same as having a larger boat carry a kayak out to where the fish are, so that you only spend less than a minute paddling to the fish.
Your canal analogy would work if I drove to NH to go hiking when there are plenty of hiking trails very close to home.
I'm sure that it's a thrill, but if you are going out to catch a marlin, swordfish or tuna 30-50 miles from shore, doing so from a kayak is only going to decrease the odds of the fish surviving the stress of the fight.
I'm sorry, but for me the act of kayaking entails a long trip powered by the paddle, and an equally long return trip. If you are taking a boat in order to use the kayak for big game fishing, that seems like an "extreme sport" approach to a simpler excursion.
(OK, maybe I just need a cup of coffee.)
In any case, I'm sure the thrill of going for a "Nantucket sleigh ride" can't be beat.
