I'm not a fisherman. I tried it one time as a kid and found it incredibly boring. Since then, it's always been my idea of nothing to do. I have patience for a lot of things, but trying to get a fish to bite a hook is not one of those things I have patience for. So at the least, I'm intrigued by people who get such a kick out of fishing.
Of course, it's possible the reason I'm not into fishing is I was not taught properly--I was never shown what the big deal is about fishing by someone who loves the sport. Maybe if I'd been taught by someone like Sakwinder Narwal, I'd have a different opinion.
Sakwinder Narwal has a passion for fishing that is intriguing, to say the least. He knows the sport in and out--he knows the eating habits of more species of fish than I probably know exist, what baits to use, and the proper technique. He's fished in the deep sea, and in the marshes of Louisiana, and many other places in between. It takes a real enthusiast to do that.
The more knowledge you have about how to do something, I guess the better you are at doing it. But it takes more than that--because honestly, you won't invest yourself into that kind of knowledge unless you are passionate about it. Sakwinder Narwal has a passion for fishing that I don't understand. But I do understand that kind of passion in general, and that to be truly good at something you need to be passionate about it. I guess it's just another challenge that we shouldn't be driven by our passions, but we should be guided by them. The best way to be good at what we do is to do what we love.
