Eric, please forgive my intrusion when you're just getting started, something you wrote just begs the question, are you suggesting that LMB choose their prey out of biology/instinct, not by nature of a learned response?
If so, am I correct in assuming that you are speaking in general terms/generations, and not of specific individuals? We know that fish can become "hook shy", which I consider a learned response, so I'm just wanting to be sure I understand the context behind the statement. I'm looking forward to learning something here, I just don't want to start off with my train of thought already derailed.
Sorry to interrupt.
