Very true.....the fisherman's evolution in my mind is as follows....
1. Wide eyed newcomer.
2. Enthusiast/know it all.
3. Accomplished enthusiast.
4. Acclaimed/celebrated enthusiast.
5. Show off/egomaniac.
6. Accomplished pro who realizes he really doesn't know %$%$%$%$ and there really is a lot of luck/chance involved.
7. Humble veteran who would rather not be known at all and does it for fun.
