On the tuna sport fishing boat I was on, they used Livingston's when a really large yellowfin tuna would get too far away from the boat. They would put you and a crew guy in one with a portable radio, hopefully before you ran out of line on your reel, and off you would go. If you landed it, you came back with it strapped to the side of the boat. I did a 203 lb fish that way, very stable and powered well with a small outboard. I would hate to carry one back to the water at low tide though.
