Of course we did manage to brave the 6-7 ft swells to land my personal best fish that day.

Gimme a break, I was 24 and didn't give a %$%$%$%$ about anything but catching fish.
Luckily I never killed myself or anyone else.
Came close too many times though all in the name of the saxatilis. That's why I'm leery of boats now, lots of people still taking the risks I used to in the name of fishing. Anyways, I definitely caught more super sized fish from the boat than shore so hopefully I answered the original question.
