No, I wouldn't find that exciting/challenging at all. Nor would I find filling a dugout full of big trout and throwing a line in to catch them. What I find exciting is going out fishing knowing that there are big fish in the lake but it will take time, patience and persistence to catch them. Making it easier actually makes it less exciting for me.

It might be the hunter in me but I think that a big part of fishing is the "thrill of the chase" so to speak with everything that leads up to actually hooking a fish. If it's a biggin' it makes it that much more exciting, but not when you already know that it's going to be a big one.
