Back in the 70's, I had a friend who used this 'handle' to refer to his fishing prowess. He ALWAYS seemed to be catching instead of just fishing. He was either a master...., or the luckiest SOB I've ever met.

He took a job in another part of the state and as he left he said, "Snatch the pebble from my hand, Grasshopper". Okay, he didn't say that. But he did say, "Okay, it's time. I'm passing the name on to you. Maybe you'll learn how to catch something for once with that stupid rod of yours!" And with that, he was gone.

I'm still trying to learn all of his secrets to fishing success. Since that day I've tried to live up to the name, Fishin' Magician.
