I can't. But I have seen people starving on the TV show "Survivor" because they couldn't catch any fish. LOL!

I think I read somewhere that most survival situations don't last more than 72 hours. No one is going to starve to death in 72 hours, although you may feel like it. Me personally, I don't like the idea of depending on other people to save me. What if I'm out there for a long time? I'm going to look for every opportunity to feed myself. Large game, medium game, small game, insects, plants, fish... they're all on the menu.
