What you are not taking into account is that the angler found that particular piece of structure to fish, it is a spot that he fishes regularly that produces nice fish. Just like a shore guy would do. He also knew what stage of tide to be there and why he chose that specific tide to fish. Just like a shore guy does.
I agree that sometimes people just get lucky, but this fisherman is clearly not that type of fisherman. Just read what he has said about how he fishes and you will soon realize that.
Personally I enjoy fishing from the shore as much as I do from a boat. I have enjoyed an equal amount of great days shore and boat fishing. A boat may get you the opportunity to drive to a surface blitz, but let's be real, those are small fish that anyone can catch. Finding an 80 lb. cow is difficult for any angler. Boat anglers still need to put in time, they have a lot of water to choose from. The fact that this angler specifically chose that stretch of water at that specific time, purposefully shows skill and not luck.
The old, "boat fish don't count" thing is a great running joke that most normal people don't take so serious. Obviously if he caught it on home made wood it would be more impressive, but there is a reason that not many fish over 60 lbs. have ever been caught on wood. Not to mention, this fish was hanging deep.
Your continuous complaining and whining just makes you look jealous.
