Definitely a 10. Confidence is the # ONE FACTOR in Catching FISH. With the Other Variables mixed 6-8. 8-10 on most any water I've fished before.

But like W said some day the pro's. don't catch fish.

I feel I have a pretty good grasp on what senarios potentially hold fish for example the way the water is moving , where to fish depending on what way the wind is blowing, looking for bait, looking for clean water , looking for things that stand out maybe something or somewhere a fish could lay up to ambush bait , everyone has their "home waters" so hopefully you are a more consistent "catcher" there . But fishing new bodies of water doesn't intimidate me I usually can puta few fish ithe box with out help , but like most things practice and time makes you better , but doing the same thing over n over expecting different results .... You'll never get better

I know how you feel. I lost one last year that would have been a contender to win the STAR! Spit the hook 4 feet from boat.

I would give myself a 4

I'd be sick for sure!

Sorry you missed that one.

In all seriousness........the older I get the less I care about catching.......I can really fish all day just to help my son catch them.

I have been blessed.
Don't have a trophy trout yet......but I've got a 10.12 oz. Bass that I released.......a red that went 42 INCHES in the surf that I released and a red snapper that went 27 pounds that well.......I did not release.

I have 154 yellow fin on a Penn 30 stand up gear. I 50 pound Wahoo on the same trip.

I guess I am pretty good when the fish co-operate.

But I can't wait for shuggas to catch her first fish in the back yard pond and then at the camp and then off the coast and then off shore and then.........who knows

I'd rather be a 10 as a dad and a 2 as an angler than a 10 as an angler and a 2 as a dad! Kudos to you for working to put your son on the fish.

[jlincecum]

I'm about a 2. No need fishing around me.
