this argument has been done here before, and at the end of the if that angler has decided to keep his catch, well that's his decision, it may not please all but that was that's that mans choice. Also, and I stand to be corrected, but in the couple of times that I have fished from boats, I have only ever caught 2 ling and both fish were well beyond release by the time I got them to the surface.
I think congratulate the man and leave it at that
