Jono touched on something, the X factor.
Chris Ogborne, English Captain of a couple of years ago talked about the X factor.
Edoardo Ferrero, Italian captain, talked about the "sense of the water"
Others calls it the 6th sense.
Without it, a great angler, will only be a very GOOD angler.
I have seen many fantastic anglers, but they are just short of the "sense of the water, or the x factor"
Some superb anglers, compensate for the lack of the "sense of the water", by very dedicated practicing, others for superb preparation, Others, again by hard core studying of all the factors involved.
I hope my interpretation of a great angler is the same as the rest of you.
