This is a real question. I am not a good fisherman, just an old one. But it occurs to me that whenever my mental attitude was not positive, my fishing rod seemed to be like a broomstick and I had no mental connection with the water or fish. And I don't recall ever catching anything under those circumstances.
But the times that I felt, positively, I could actually sense fish around me I rarely failed to hook one. Of course there have also been many fish who appeared to commit suicide by chomping on my bait while I was not paying attention. I think it is more fun to believe you will be successful, and have the satisfaction when success happens that you weren't just lucky, but darn good. I don't know. Maybe a guy shouldn't drink beer this early in the day.
