""Could an additional factor be that the pellet raised fish have not developed the strength and speed required to catch minnows effectively as their meals were always easy catch pellets? I am wondering whether the wild raised are not only more savy at catching a minnow, but also stronger and faster than their pellet raised counterparts.""
Very good discussion and practical points about wild versus tame hand or pellet raised fish. Similar behaviors are seen in wild vs farm raised game birds such as pheasants and quail. The behavior no doubt extends across numerous species including humans as in workers vs welfare persons.
