Martin, I was noticing this on a regular basis when I was feeding Tractor Supply's Farm Pond Fish food. It was rare to see them actually finish a chunk. I switched to a Burris high protein feed and that behavior stopped. I know that a lot of folks here agree that some fish just don't like to eat the pellets while they're still hard and suspect that could have been the case in my pond. But switching to a good quality food seemed to make all the difference and my fish now hammer it.
