Most that know me know myself and a bud or 2 have very similar thoughts on this subject . I won't ever be a pro though as it's not in me to be competitive . I typically don't worry about who ketched the most or the biggest , but to be Sure I take lots of time to help anyone that thinks I can help them and give a terribly large number of tips and baits away .
There isn't a lot of things out there that can come close to seeing some little one ketch a first fish or a big fish and there are then the parents that typically smile just as big and seem just as grateful.
Nice read and kudos for not being like some of the "pro" types I have met in the past .
