Good question.

I respect a lot of fishermen that have put their time in - that's big in my opinion. Honest time at what we do. And have respect for more than a few up & comers but I think with this question I would really need to seperate my respect for the person from the respect for pure fishability.

What's that fishability? Probably the 10% that can practically ALWAYS find good fish. Those that tend to catch more & better consistently than their peers. Not only those with one 50 or more under their belts. Those that are tenacious at this. Those that treat what we do with respect and honor. I would also need to add a little extra for the tenacious, top 10, big fish finding Surfcaster because in my opinion it is FAR more difficult and FAR more challenging to have theat top level of success from the water's edge than from boat.
