Just imagine if you bought that silly Pro Angler last Summer. Even without it, I bet you can remember the smile on the Yellowtail's face as he shook your hook at the gaff---right beside the kayak.
I'm pretty sure that fish's face will be engrained into your memory for some time. Especially since this was a slam-completing-Yellowtail, no less.
Apparently those extra eighty points (30 for the fish and 50 for the slam bonus) came into play after all. Getting pipped at the last second has got to sting a bit---ouch!
