I don't know how different your weather was Sunday, but Monday I could not get any of my HBG to bite for nothing. Caught 4 of the HSB I put in a couple weeks ago. Throw out feed at feed time and the water boiled. Guess I'm going to have to get me some stubby Steve's.
I've had the same experience. And this from a fish that, to read some reports, eats anything and everything all the time. I wonder how many of the articles I've read that touted this supposed HBG trait were written by folks with hands-on experience with this fish, rather than just recycled material from an earlier work?
Matter-of-fact, and on a broader scope, when is it time to revisit old articles, theories, and generally accepted facts regarding fish of all kinds? Certainly building upon the work of recognized authorities is commonplace, but surely new information, new variables, and new questions will sometimes demand another look at what is considered the standard answer?
I don't think the wheel always needs to be re-invented......but I'm open to the idea that improvement can sometimes be achieved by thinking outside the norm, rather than simply accepting as fact, that which has been steadfastly regarded as the final word.
Sorry for getting off-topic, RC.
