The fishing was pretty good, even if the seas were a bit rough. We landed blackfin tuna, red snapper, vermilion snapper, mangrove snapper, chub, trigger fish and black grouper. I had the distinction of being the only one to land a sea perch. Some distinction.
Recruiting is a lot like fishing - the fisherman needs the right bait (branding/job/comp plan), the skill to know where to cast (market knowledge) and the skills to set the hook when the fish bites (communication skills). And the fisherman can't expect to get a bite on every catch.
