It is more important to be a lucky angler than a good angler. I don't believe that saying thinking that there is no substitute for skill. My first sea fishing trip ever maybe proves the expression though. I had only just got back into fishing and a holiday in Florida gave my brother and I an excuse to get on a charter boat for a day. The day had been going well, us both playing a few big Spanish Mackerel to the boat when the skipper spotted a Marlin. It took a bait instantly and the rod was passed to me. A superb fight ensued on a stand up lightweight rod and after twenty minutes or so and several acrobatic leaps the fish was played to the boat and released. I can still see it to this day and these stills are taken off the video.
