Great post. I have grown to believe that the "confidence", or "mojo" as we like to call it, is a huge factor is catching fish. Great fishermen have this, and those that struggle do not. We always find it fascinating (my brother and I) when we go fishing with people who just do not have the mojo, and they know it. We will catch 10 to their 1 using exactly the same gear and lures/flies. Its amazing. We did an experiment one time with my Dad (who has lost is mojo in his later years)...we were on Kolob (may she RIP) one fall, on the boat spin fishing (not our usual fly fishing) because Dad loves to do that. I had on a particular lure that I had gone 8 for 8 on, all nice big cutts. My Dad had yet to catch a fish, so I handed over my pole to my Dad and told him where to cast. He continued to cast that lure for about 30 minutes, nothing. He then handed it back to me, and I proceeded to catch 3 more back to back, lol. There is something to the confidence and fish mojo for sure!
