So that means that which doesn't make you stronger kills you? Don't buy into that!

Caught a big crappie on a #7 fly rod the other day, using a #64 black gnat I tied myself. Fought that fish for 18 straight hours, never once stopping for anything. Water level in reservoir fell 17 feet when I pulled it out, so I had to do catch and release. The crappie tossed me my limit in 30 pound salmon as a way of saying thanks.
