Oxford University fish study proves we pond owners may have Smart Fish. Did you know fish can recognize you from other people? Yep they can! They can even recognize small changes in human faces 80% of the time. The fish could pick out different faces on computer screen. They have social structure, and can perform complex behaviors. They may even use tools to perform tasks. Maybe they are smarter than we think they are, and that might be why they are not so easy to catch in some ponds. They learn not to bite. If they can recognize faces, they can recognize that artificial bait! Maybe that is why the Florida bass becomes tougher to catch over time. They may just be smarter than we humans think they are
