MM,

Assuming they both know what they are doing, proper retrieve (speed, depth), presentation etc. one catches where the other does not. I agree with the 10/90 rule if you will, but that again begs the question. Are they just more talented or do they almost will it? Is it confidence combined with knowledge?

There was a time when I was the most successful amongst the group of friends I fished with regularly, but after moving and such, I developed a whole new set of friends to fish with. In this new group, there were a bunch of very, very good fisherman (more so than the first group) who I knew as much as and we all had the same gear so there was no dis-advantage.

The difference was amongst this new group I was no longer the most successful consistently. My skills did not change so what was it?
