Desertdog hit on some important points. Sometimes I think anglers get caught up that success and great fisherman are measured by the numbers tallied and how well they promote themselves. To me great fisherman I've met are the ones who continue to learn, experiment and investigate their "hunches", not always looking for the big "give me". They also RESPECT other fisherman's water and give back to the resource. They continue to challenge themselves and still enjoy a day of fishing even though it was a slow day. They also enjoy their partners success as well as their own. If we define great fisherman by the numbers fish caught, then maybe that's why there seems to be an increasing amount of unsportsmanlike conduct on our rivers.
