Why is it said that That Ten Percent of the Fishermen Catch Ninety Percent of the Fish?

The old adage in the title of this article may be a bit exaggerated; however, it does refer to the fact that a small group of fishermen catch the majority of the fish. Now, let’s take a look at why this select group comes away with most of the fish and others go home with sparse catches.
If I had to say why the haves prevail over the have-nots, it would come down to three things: first and foremost, experience, then comes equipment and finally skills.
Those three areas are what separate fishermen from catchermen.
During my 15 years of guiding, I have observed just about all levels of fishermen and can speak with experience when it comes to identifying problems that keep individuals from catching fish.
