My absolute best moment was not catching a 60lb fish it was my first 50 from the beach after years of 7 nights a week trying and learning and phyiscally exhausting myself to achevie it...

Before you say I'm picking on you, I'M NOT. I am going to use your statement about "achieving" something though. In regards to that day that you caught your first 50...... Since your an experienced 50lb. fish catcher (meaning you experienced it, no pun intended),.... did you do something different that night from the previous year that you think added to you hooking that fish? Or were you just confident about your spot/technique/etc and assumed that someday a big fish would swim by there and if you were there that night, you might have a chance at hooking it? The bottom line is being THERE. This isn't rocket science, ..You guys are missing the point, fishing isn't like weightlifting.....sure you can start off bench pressing 100lbs, slowly you gain strength, next thing you know you're benching 200lbs, and then 300lbs, THIS IS NOT LIKE FISHING. You don't start catching schoolies, then catch high teens, then 20#ers, 30#ers..until you reach 50. There is no achieving anything.

Time on the water increases your odds/luck/chances/karma/whatevertheheCKyouwanttocallit/ -

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
