When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

I'm guessing it was blinded by the lights

and that is why it swam back to get trapped again.  It is actually a broadbill swordfish not a marlin (but everyone new that).
