I think this says alot though. There are very few guys I know who actually "fish" their reels underwater more than 50% of the time - heck even more than 20% of the time. I know I rarely if ever actually fish/reel my reels underwater - unless fighting a fish requires it. Now, getting it dunked & splashed very often - sometimes on every cast - is another story.

So I guess skishing (consistently reeling underwater) and splash/dunk-fishing is a major distinction.
