We have offered and helped net/photo fish multiple times. No harshness taken at all as I agree with your post. A boat did cruise up as soon as the fish was netted "which drew our attention in the first place" and chatted for a moment. Then motored off 30 or so yards and drifted back towards them. I know the word assumption often has the same meaning as regret, but seeing a boat cruise up to 3 guys all throwing big baits from a rig like that, we "assumed" between the two boats, they would have the situation under control. Maybe our offering could of made a differnece.... Good luck out out there fellas!
