BIG FISH. It’s why we fish, right? An old truism holds that new anglers just want to catch a fish, then they progress to catching lots of fish. After a while, “lots of fish” loses ground to “one big fish.” Eventually (so I hear) the ultimate angler ascends, in a moment of religious enlightenment, to merely enjoying the experience of fishing. Personally, I’ve found that I sure tend to enjoy the experience a whole lot more while I’m catching lots of big fish, but I admit I’m still working out that whole Zen thing.
Regardless of your motivation, there are in fact things you can do to improve your chances of catching a big fish. And some of those things may be non-intuitive. This isn’t going to be your typical ‘throw streamers’ top ten list (although, yes, throwing streamers will help you catch bigger trout). These are more like life philosophies — observations derived from two decades of trying (and often failing) to pull off the big fish trick. In most of these cases, I am not speaking about myself — rather, these are things I’ve seen quality anglers do, and thus they are things I consciously try to imitate.
