There is always an increased level of intensity whenever you are fishing for your next meal.  When you know that you and other people are relying on what you put on a stringer or in a live well, you have your game face on.  For so many anglers, harvesting fish for the table often involves panfish.  In so many regions, crappie, perch or sunfish still allow some harvest where anglers can proceed to keep some fish for a meal. That pressure from people expecting you to catch the next meal, can either make an Angler step up their game significantly, or fall under pressure.
