Are Fish and Calling Stations the same thing?

So grinders are fish? LoL. I probably am a fish, but since I'm just learning ABC poker and hope to grow past it, I don't mind the label.

I forget who said it, Steve Badger (I think), that small sharks eat the fish, and bigger sharks eat smaller sharks. So...the key to table/level selection is to make sure you're one of the biggest fish in the pool at the time, or you'll just become lunch.
