Wow, great question. My answer would be, however, that the fish I have not yet caught , I haven't cared to catch and I've caught all the fish ( species at least) I EVER wanted to catch. Based on THAT experience, with the time HE has allotted me, I have decided to pursue trout in waters that move. I have a policy that if the waters don't move, I do. To offer a perspective, I have never been deep sea fishing but I have seen enough of it to conclude that, although it looks like fun,......... it's not for me.
