If I hook into a big trout while on my boat, I'll be going where the fish wants. I fish out of a kayak. I made the (bad) decision to tangle with the caney's stripers in it and went for a ride before losing what would have been my biggest striper, and as much as I praise a striper's strength, a trout has better endurance and fights way more unpredictably. Stripers run in straight lines and tend to pull away from you, trout zigzag, jump, dive, run towards you, then go away just as fast. Plus, when you have them boat side, the bigger ones run out and do the whole thing over again.
