if i kill one of these in 60 seconds, can i lay the rod on the rail?  it works great for yellowfin tuna!

Haha, nope!
Unless you want the skipper and deckie swearing at ya   
They pretty much all go back over the side anyway.

ok, then pass.  need to protect my shoulders.  two bad rotator cuffs take priority over a skipper and deckhand!!!!

They might give you a bit of grief but at the end of the day they're there to provide a top quality experience and if that's how you want to fish they can shut up and accommodate it  . I'd love to see how the rail technique works down this part of the world. I've never heard of people doing it because of the "tough macho" thing.
