I agree with Spin that luck plays a big part in getting that real trophy.
You increase your CHANCES if you know what you are doing.
You increase your CHANCES if you are using the right bait; live, dead, chunk, or artificial. From the boat or shore
You increase your CHANCES if you use the right tackle; choosing the right leaders, hooks, swivels, and tieing good knots correctly.
You increase your CHANCES with practice, knowning how and when to set the hook, or not if using circle hooks.
You increased your CHANCES knowing how to fight a fish. Knowning the give and take, how to set your drag, etc.
You increase your CHANCES knowning how to land a fish. If you are on a boat, having an adaquate sized net. If you are shore, that you have selected a spot where you can land a monster, especially in big surf on the rocks.
Again, all of the knowledge, practice, reading, research, tackle, and time spent only increase your chances. Some googan could still get very lucky and land the next record.
That is my $0.02
