Hook, Line, and Sinker

Time for storytelling!

A fisherman is sitting on the shore. He has put on his bait, thrown in his hook. Carefully prepared his fishing. Holding and testing his line. He now gets a strong pull and pulls back, fighting to get his catch. An exhausting power contest sets in. The fish must be huge, the amount of struggle he's in for.

On a distant, opposite shore sits another fisherman. He has put on his bait, thrown in his hook. Carefully prepared his fishing. Holding and testing his line. He now gets a strong pull and pulls back, fighting to get his catch. An exhausting power contest sets in. The fish must be huge, the amount of struggle he's in for.

The two fishermen can't spot each other. But both are convinced they have their great catch. Both convinced they will be victorious. They are hooked. Can't give it up. Both in too deep. Hook, line, and sinker. There's just an old fisherman's paradox for you.
