During the end game the fish will swim in circles, you have to get used to it and be able to judge the size of the circle and keep the boat at the very edge. Be patient and wait until the fish swims within gaffing rage before wiring it and sinking the steel. At the end the angler should be in the stern where the wireman and gaffman can get closer to the water. You might also want to consider using a cockpit harpoon rather than a gaff. Most people can handle the harpoon mor easily than the gaff.
