Squibby, if your motor is properly tuned and cared for ( I have a two cycle) it should not smoke and I catch bass all the time, do not carry a cooler ( I RELEASE THEM ALL) and if I have to gaff a fish it's a lip gaff to hold the fish steady to promptly remove the hook(s) which is way better than slipping your hands into thier gills and is only done with large fish otherwise it's a lip grip with my hands.
At 52 I guess I am a retread though so your right on that point but I do many many nights crawling onto slime covered rocks and standing in surf while the sand washes away around my feet as the suds recede, and most nights on sand are spent walking lonely stretches for miles from high banked parking lots cause the oversand routes are shutdown.
Just a point of contention here is all, carry on.
