What are you fishing for
Are you using the right bait
Are you tossing your line
Willy-nilly out into the water
Or are you laser focused
On the spot in the water
Right where you want
Your hook to drop
Are you able to wait patiently
Until you get a bite
Or do you get anxious and
Reel your line in
Thinking
You can make a better cast
When you get a bite
Are you skilled
At setting the hook
Or do you let emotion take over
Jerk too hard
Lose the fish
Tangle up your line
When all you had to do
Was settle down
Take your time
