I give more credit to the driver of the boat that was chasing the fish down.

He was fishing alone. Which means he had to drive the boat with one hand and play the fish with the other.

You should give him double credit, then

2 lb test line? Not exactly a "catch and release" technique.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

not to be a jerk, but that would have been a lot harder for surfcaster that can't chase a fish around with the boat and has to rely almost completely on fighting skills.
