The way the story goes,

I caught my first brook trout when I was six years old. My father cheered for me, filled with excitement and pride. After calming down, he asked what I thought about that. Straight faced, I replied, "I wanna catch another one."

Twenty years later, I netted the first trout after six fish-less hours for a client who had never touched a fly rod before. Relieved, I slapped him on the back and asked what he thought about that, and he responded with the exact same answer. I guess I had that coming.
