So perhaps I will put it in simpler terms:
2 guys are fishing side by side with the same everything. No difference with gear, eel, technique and they are 3 feet apart.
2 bass swim by. One is 50# the other is 35#. One guy hook the 50 the other guy hook the 35.
So you tell me. For the guy who hooked the 50 is that Good fortune, Fate, Destiny, Accident, Chance, a fluke, good break or LUCK????
You can call it whatever you want. I call it a good fortune, fate, destiny, chance.....LUCKY BREAK!!!!

Paul,
It was not my intent to be condescending and the post was not directed anyone in particular. The problem on these boards is a compliment like I just gave #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& can be turned into a criticism by others.
To answer your question:
The guy who took the 50 may have been doing something diffrent than the guy who took the 35.
I'll give you another example: Say you're an accomplished fisherman. You're on a bridge and bucktailing the shadow lines. You see a monster bass in the shadow and cast your offering at her - she takes - you land her - over 50. I just don't consider that being lucky.
Consider someone has fished for many years and put their time in and has seen 50's caught all around him - but hasn't caught one yet. I may consider them unfortunate but I don't consider the other guys lucky. Maybe they were doing something different.
Paul - please don't consider this personal. It's just how I view things.
