LMB have the capacity to learn. Some with more capacity than others according some investigators. In a couple of the local ponds near my house, LMB figured out that a BG head and guts leftover from cleaning is something edible and can be consumed. I know that because I have caught LMB fishing for catfish with the bait on bottom. Also, throwing BG heads with guts into the water attracts attention and LMB will draw them right in. Sometimes they spit them out and suck them back in. There are many occasions where the food drifts out of sight. Seen all the possibilities over the past couple of years.

Pretty cool they are taking feed for you. Much better conversion feeding to your LMB than the feed can do for your LMB when the BG consume it.
