3:1 misses to takes? I would say the best advise so far was the Alaska trip. Muscle memory and repeated occurances are what is needed. I think the ratio is much higher! 10:1 easy~! I don't think that the occassional angler develops all the right skills as quickly as he could based on his number of hours and fish logged.
