One of those deep thinking, psychological kind of guys once said, “to understand the owl, study the mouse.”
That’s okay, if you’re into owls, but since they’re a protected bird, you can’t legally shoot one. Most of my friends would better relate to something like “to know the bass, know the shad-crawfish-bluegill-worm.” Simply, everything eats, so if you find the food source you’ll find the bass.
