I used to always pray for a safe fishing trip but in my own human pride, I never asked God for success in catching fish. I thought that God had much more important requests to deal with than my fishing. A fishing buddy once asked me if I was limiting God's powers, after all, He knows the number of hairs on your head and every sparrow that falls from the sky. (Matt 10:29-30) Now I do ask for fishing success as well as fishing safety. Of course, I don't limit out every time but there seems always to be enough fish in my freezer to share with others.
