Not so sporty or maybe so

Going out Monday for grouper and snapper. While a totally different kind of fishing, I als hope to get into some Dorado. Fishing with my favorite charter out of Marina Pez Vela, Quepos, Costa Rica.
ETA had a significant impact on the rivers, dumping a lot of debris into the ocean but conditions have improved so we are anticipating good fishing.
Pictures to follow (I’m hoping).

Why do you question whether or not it's sporty?

Bottom fishing is just not as sporty. That’s all. Drop to the bottom. Reel up. See what you get. Usually not much of a fight. On the other hand, tie into a 25# Dorado on light tackle. That’s sporty

I agree on the question of 'sporty'. I've been out rockfishing in deep water, and because there are currents moving in different directions at different depths, your line goes in different directions between you and the bottom so that you can't feel when you have fish on. Second, they're dead (inflated) before you get them half way to the surface, so there's no fight. That isn't really fishing, it's just ....Gathering fish.
Since bringing them up kills them, there's no catch and release. Made for some good meals, though!

Actually, there is a way to release a fish that has been traumatized by ascending from deep water.
