Look on the brightside...if you are a REAL fisherman...the size of that fish, in the stories you will tell, will eventually be much greater than if you boated it and weighed it.
Kinda like the 195#(at least!!!) Cobia that I had to cut the leader on because the seas during the advancing hurricane we were fishing in were getting to 35ft (or better) and my girlfriend, at the time,...Morgan Fairchild...yeah that's it....was getting seasick.
See how this will play to your advantage?
