Lotta good responses.
Mine would be that I am an idiot and not a good fisherman and probably never will be. The best lesson I learned was to get over myself, accept that I will never be "great" and just enjoy what little time I have to fish, whenever I can.
I think the true "greats" have it in them to begin with and hone their skills through practice. If you have ever watched and observed people when they fish than you know what I mean.

Funny, I would bet that all the true "greats" started out thinking the same way!
No one is born a great angler, but become so through practice, patience and perseverence. Remember that you are only as good or as bad as YOU think you are! |
I am a legend in my own mind!

You may be right to some extent but I still think that some people just have "it" or they dont, no matter how hard they pratice (the latter would be myself  )
Out of all the people I have observed fishing in my life there are 2 that I can say I have seen this certain grace with a fishing rod and lure that I just cannot describe but it is a beautiful thing to have been able to watch them in their element, their "being" if you will. |

When you're in the presence of wise men (whether it is on the water, at the bait shop, or at a cook out), close your mouth, listen and/or watch. Ever since I was a kid, I've learned more by watching sharpies on the water and noticing very subtle details, and they have made a world of difference. I have no idea who most of them were. What I did know is they were out fishing me and I wanted to know why.
