Talking of pets, did anyone see the dallas news a couple of years back. They interviewed this guy who had a pet LM bass in his small stock pond. It weighed 8 to 10 lbs. He walked out to the edge of his pier and held out his hand. The bass jumped out of the water and into this guys arms. He gave it a few hand rubs and released it. The news reported ask how did he ever train the fish to do that. The story went that he was mowing the edges of the pond with his push mower. He began to notice that ever time he mowed this small fish would follow him all around the pond as he mowed eating at the debris from the mower. He said he eventally started feeding the fish as he mowed.Over time the bass got more and more friendly and trusting. And would come up to greet him ever time he came to the pond.
