I, guess......... I use the tag line, I do...... because when I read it, it made perfect sense and it's one of the real "truisms" in fishing!?!

Ed Zern had a different take, on the same subject though, which I also love and should have used perhaps:
"All fishermen are BORN, "honest", but they soon get over it!" (slight, paraphrase, not exact,without looking it up!)
