How do I measure a good/great fisherman/woman???? I would by no means say it's amount of fish caught. I know guys who catch ALOT of fish on different rivers/lakes and show either no sportsmanship or snag the heck out of the fish. I define it as knowledge in your craft and your attitude towards your fellow anglers/enviroment. Getting fish is a bonus. I too know guys who can walk up to any river, measure up a slot, then nail whatever fish may be holding in that hole. But he's an @#$hole and thinks that everyone else are pondscum. I've even watched him even scold his son for being an idiot because he screwed up landing a fish. Is he a great fisherman?????? You tell me. I say no.

I'll just sumarize, it takes more to being a good fisherman then catching quantity of fish, it's the QUALITY of the individual that makes them great.
