I would call it opportunity/probability, not skill. There is a degree of skill involved too. Anyone can catch one 40, 50, 60# fish from shore or boat, but I feel the tourney rewards consistency in addition to the one hit wonders.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
