Interesting observation......
Some friends came over yesterday to fish and we caught 24 BC and one very fat 1-1/2 pound bass. When we pulled the cage up to clean the fish yesterday afternoon there were thousands of freshly hatched 1-2 day old fry hanging in the plastic netting which seemed odd with all those carnivores present. Went to photograph them this morning and the fry are gone.
FWIW: 5 BC had been in the cage for 4 days and the fat just caught that morning bass was dead.
Yeah I see that a lot. I've had fry swim into a few of my long-term cages and remain there until they grow too large to escape.
