No doubt hunger/drive is huge, knowledge is key, time put is important and confidence breeds success or vise versa.
The real question then is, what do we really measure "the great ones" by? Knowledge? Drive? Time? Success?
Plus, is it a case of longevity, reputation or pure dominance on their part in their ability to be successful?
They have put in their time, they are driven, they have the knowledge and have been successful for the most part.
Some are record holders, some are not. Some have caught large and some have not but what is it that makes them better than most in most peoples minds?
Is it fact, fiction or perception? Is it myth or lore and how do we really know which? Is it in our minds?
Interesting questions I think. Many people are very knowledgable and many people fish A LOT and catch quite a lot but are not seen as "great". What's the seperation?
