I had two fish to 80# in the fog by myself. Lots of fun landing an 80 pound fish with no help. After the second one I was pretty shot so I went drinking.Going this afternoon after lunch with my son.

UV is right about changing that hose yourself. I have done it and you need to be strong and have help. I did it when it was cold out and it sucked big time. Its warmer down there so it may be easier. pun intended

It is done to show your guests that you honor them by serving them fresh fish. They know it is fresh because it is still breathing. It is very common in asian culture to do this.

I would take a 2x4 and see if I could make it move at all to start with. Then I would run it in some waves and open the hatch and watch the engine and the tranny and the shaft to see if you can see anything going on. Just my two cents.
