They may fight and taste the same but surely you agree there is more of a challenge in landing a large fish from shore. Rocks, piers, other bozo fishermen who cast over your line whilst you are fighting a fish. Not to mention the land you are standing on (slippery rocks). Easier in a boat to motor away towards or from a fish that is not going where you want/need it to....
Full disclosure... I do not own a boat but have fished from them and prefer not to (until I am no longer able to rock-hop. (then I will buy a kayak)
