Yep...I couldn't believe it the first time we did the test! We have repeated the test enough times now, with the same results, that we almost use exclusivley sticklebacks and BG's when using live bait for BCP.
My ponds were loaded with them before stocking fish so maybe its just what they are use to chasing. I don't know. I know they eat young fish but I haven't had any issuses on fish recruitment.
I hate hooking those sticklebacks but they are one tough minnow.
