I used to go offshore fishing in the Atlantic. About 10 years ago there was a Marlin tournament, and a mate was getting ready to pull a Marlin up closer to the gunnel of the boat, after the angler had fought it for quite some time. They thought it was tired, and the mate wrapped a few throws of line around his gloved hand to pull him up, and all of the sudden the Marlin came to life and dove...the mate could not get his hand free, and he did not have a set up cutters on his belt. He was pulled over and was last seen going down in the deep. Left a wife and children.
So, all the mates and captains carry cutting pliers on a lanyard now.
