Bruce; agreed on the differences!

Ewest once furnished some info regarding catchability of LMB. It involved a University study on catching LMB from a pond. Then, removing the most often caught fish and putting them in another pond. They left the uncaught bass where they were. In short, the progeny of the often caught bass were also easy to catch. The uncaught LMB progeny also seldom "bit".

Learned behavior or genetics?

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
