Consider this while forming your opinion.
It's his boat.
It's his rod, reel, line and lure.
He put the boat on the spot, his mate let out the rod and lure to the prescribed length.
The rod sat in the holder until the fish hit.
You reeled it in.
Yours or really his?

Kind of a catch 22 here.It doesn't really matter about the gear, whenever you fish on someones boat and your on their spot I think you realize the fish was safe without the captains help putting you on the fish.Safe to say we have all been turned on to spots and caught someone else's fish. But you still CAUGHT the fish,regardless of the circumstances.
Another question. You are a charter captain;your sport is onto the floor so you dislodge the rig. Floor ends up being a big bass so you reel in the fish. Said fish gets weighed in for a season long tournament by the cap. Is it really the cap's fish?
