Ha Ha that's too funny but good advice. I know a few millionaires that have them. But swore I wouldn't never go to that method. I use my scotty puller to retrieve the anchor rope and that is sure handy. Muscle cramps from fishing has been an ongoing thing for years for me, mainly halibut fishing. There was a time in the fall of 2014 I was out with my good fishing buddy and we landed 10 Hali's, 7 of them were over 80 lbs, kept 3 ligit keepers and lost 5. The last one we let go was a 150+ lbs and wrapped around all 3 rods into a major cluster f___k! I remember leaning over the boat with the timing of each ripple of waves to remove the hooks on that beautiful monster. Coming back into Pedder in the dark that day and then at the cleaning table under lights slicing and dicing our catch and manually pulling my fingers and arms back to finish the cuts.
My apologies for the rambling off, but thanks for the advice about the electric reel, I will look into it after another 20 years from now. Can't put myself in the category of pushing a button to bring in fish yet, your right though its good for some people.
