Ah: Field and Stream. That's a good start. Thank you.

RE "and I remember who the 'famous fisherman' was"
...I thought they kept that hidden from the reader.
It was a long time ago.

Heck, I heard stories similar to that many times. Somebody goes to a
famous body of water, sees a pro and discovers that they are either a
liar or no better at catching them than anybody else.

One chum of mine saw John Geirach on a western stream, and commented on
how he didn't catch as many as my friend. I would hate to be famous and
always have that stress on me to exceed. Many people I know who are in
the business lie about their catches, just so they don't sound like just
another schmoe.
