Guy reeling in the fish. Just because I paid for my kid to play soccer and drove him to practice and the games doesn't mean that I get his trophy at the end of the season. I am just proud to be part of it.
I can see the statistical part of trolling though. It is mostly luck who grabs which rod when it pops. I grabbed the rod when a steely was so laim I wasn't even sure it was on there and the next rod went and the fish is doing back flips before he even grabbed the rod. I am still whining about that. Luck of draw on those trolling vessels.
Don't worry be happy. Keep a picture of the fish on your boat for future reference.
