- I'm not that good
- I've only been fishing for 5 years
- The 40's I've caught have all had empty stomachs
- Last year was the first year I seriously fished eels. Prior to that I only used them once or twice a year.
- I only fish the surf.
- I don't get to fish as often as I would like to.
There are many more reasons but that's all for now.
