The art of Sport-fishing is a varied, complex and rewarding pastime appealing to millions of people from all walks of life. It is also lots of fun. Sport-fishing or ‘Angling’ owes its roots to the invention of the angled fishhook. The word ‘Angling’ comes from the Greek ‘ankos glen’ (barbed hook), the Old English ‘anga hook’ or angled hook and from its definition to use artful means to obtain an objective. The art of ‘Fly Fishing’ was practiced as long ago as the 3rd century AD in Macedonia. The modern ‘Angler’ is very much like a ‘Bounty Hunter’ except his objectives and quarries are respectively far more admirable and honorable. However he must still search for, find and capture his quarry - a process that because of its sporting nature develops ingenious and artful methods. The creation and evolution of these methods are proven through the experimentation and results of individual anglers. Many find the sport truly interesting and worthwhile, developing a healthy appreciation for the natural environment. Higher human desires and goals not rooted in frenzied economic advancement or the frantic acquisition of food, fuel an angler’s honorable pursuit of game fish. The profound feeling of accomplishment achieved through angling is one of its rewards. All that is required to participate in this sport is an ardent interest.
Some game fish are easier to catch than others but catching the largest specimens of any game fish species is always difficult. Most people sport fish for the sense of accomplishment and relaxing entertainment it provides. Some species of fish are more ‘game’ than others and some game fish are more difficult to find or fight, factors that contribute significantly to angling satisfaction. Satisfaction is many times gauged by the relative size of the fish caught as compared to the maximum size attainable by the species or how many decent sized game fish can be caught in a day or a year and by which method of angling was employed.
The larger sized fish within a species are always rare and are inversely proportional to its relative numbers. Mature large fish are always harder to find, fight and catch than their smaller brethren and usually render the most memorable moments in angling. These ‘fish of a lifetime’ or a ‘fishing trip of a lifetime’ depend not only on ‘how’ and ‘where’ but also on quality well maintained gear, angler prowess and frequently- a team effort. The capture of these game fish is a serious event that makes boyish games like boxing and football pale in comparison. A rare event indeed but it doesn’t necessarily have to be like the passing of a comet happening once every 30 years. However each exceptional event usually requires intense planning, perseverance, practice and patience. The best way to accomplish these formidable angling achievements is to do some research and be prepared, as full-sized game fish are notoriously difficult make take a number and stand in line. Second chances are comparatively few and far between. To reliably ascertain ‘where’ and ‘how’ and to be sufficiently prepared you must seek local knowledge of the angling techniques and the specific game fish habits in that particular area.
A game fish’s general and local habits are his ‘Achilles Heel‘ and the best way to ‘angle’ for them. Acquiring the local knowledge necessary to consistently catch large game fish can be done in one of two ways; either spend the time through trial and error (usually years) or seek instruction from someone who has already invested the time. ‘Education’ can prove expensive either way. However a good local sport-fishing guide can save you plenty of time, money and heart aches.
