True to my training with the assumptions! Of course, I certainly can tell the TM what fish to eat, but whether they listen is quite another matter. Reminds me of my experience teaching. laugh

Based on my reading, TM do tend to prefer fusiform fish, such as LMB, GSH, and RBT, over BG and CNBG. Easier to swallow. I used to fish in a private lake in Ohio that had TM, and had luck using a 12 inch LMB as bait. (To be fair, I also once accidentally hooked a TM on a nightcrawler, but that's really the ultimate in fusiform!)
