You’ve seen it before. Maybe even participated. A group has gathered and they’re talking about who-knows-what.

Eventually the conversation turns to fishing, and, often, a non-fisherman in the group says that he doesn’t go fishing because he doesn’t have the patience to sit there and wait for a fish to come along. I think to myself of the successful anglers that I’ve fished with over the years. Usually patience was not an attribute they possessed.
