Guy 1 has every bit if his concetration on his eel , is moving it along in a way he can feel everything its touching or being touched by and is never missing even the slightest bit of interest by his targeted fish.
Guy 2 is is tired from working all day . he's thinking about what time he'll get home and if his boss will be on his back at work the next day and about the wife nagging about him going fishing again. Every now and then when Guy1 catches a fish , he concentrates for a few minutes and gets one too.
Guy 3 has the rod handle under his armpit and is retrieving using the hand on the arm with the rod under his armpit. He's got his other hand in his pocket playing with himself and couldn't care less about the fish , in fact he's damned put out he has to hold the stupid rod just so guys 1+2 won't know he's playing pocket pool.
But seriously , guy 1 is probably fishing at a much higher level of mental intensity.
