Have you ever been fishing?
There’s a lot that goes into a successful fishing trip. And success is a relative term. In order for it to be successful, you must have a desired outcome that gets accomplished. At least.
Along with that desired outcome, you need a plan of all the steps involved in getting you from point A to point Z.
You need to pick the location you’re going to fish. You need to pick the type of fish you want to catch. You’ve got to know what that type of fish likes to eat and get that for bait. If you can’t get the exact thing the fish likes to eat, you need something close enough to get a response.
Often the fish won’t bite the first time it sees your bait. Sometimes it happens, but it’s not something you would count on. You’ve got to keep throwing the bait out over and over and over again before it bites.
Once it bites you’ve got ‘em, right?
Not always. Many fish have been able to spit out the bait before the hook can fully grab them. Kind of like people’s attention.
Even if the fish gets fully hooked you’re still not guaranteed to bring it in. There are plenty of things that can prevent you from getting your hands on the fish.
The line could break. A bigger fish or another animal could attack and eat your fish while it’s on the hook. The fishing rod could slip out of your hand.
What I’m saying is the process of attracting, hooking, and landing a fish is a fragile process.
So, why go fishing?
Because we’re hungry.
Because we’re looking for entertainment.
