In addition to some of the stuff which has been posted, I really respect a guy with that natural ability to read water, understand structure, knows how to work either tide or current, understands how weather plays a factor, can quickly identify fish behavior and traits that affect feeding and
this is what I really respect, can take all of the above, put whatever gear in his hand is appropriate and start catching whatever is on the table for the day. Could be stripers on the Cape, Blues or Fluke in RI, Spanish Mackeral in the Gulf of Mexico, bonefish in the Keys, crappie in his local pond or smallmouth bass in a canada shield lake.
Yeah there are the guys that are a master of one, but I really admire those that are just plain naturals, who can get into the game quickly regardless of where that game is being played. Someone please pick me up with a spare ticket to the warmest fishiest spot on earth and I'll show you what I'm talking about...no seriously...really...I want warmth
