I have been fishing a few times. Caught a fish once. I enjoyed the trip but not so much the flopping around of the fish. But then I did eat it later. Oh well.
The one thing that stuck in my head from the instructions from my friend and boss who had taken us fishing was that don't fidget with the line once its cast. Let the line sit and watch the float. Patiently. I am not very patient. I moved the hook around if nothing happened after five minutes. Later I saw a kid amongst these fishermen catch a fish. He did follow those rules. He cast the hook and then set the rod down by his side. Hugged his knees and squatted as he watched the float for any signs of bobbing. All of a sudden he grabbed the rod and reeled in a fish.
