That's almost Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea right thereI used to get excited when a big marlin came in and slammed one of our lures in the spread....decades later, I wasn't as happy to spend a couple hours in stand up gear stretching out 600 yards of 80 lb mono that was going to be replaced when we got back in…hoping she wouldn't die on us and end the fishing day with a fish nowhere near as good eating as a mahi, ono or tuna…
