OK...Jenn,
...where did this start?
I've heard this more than once. "Fish will remember what they were caught on and not chase the same style/color pattern year after year. They
"Get Smart" to the lure and thats why some lures don't work when you think they should."
I think its a bunch of HOOPLA!!
...the tests I conducted in my fish tanks showed me little to none ... short term memory on African Cichlids. I know I can't compare a cichlid to a striper....I never said I was. I was just sharing some of my Looney-ness with y'all..
...so now, do you think a fish remembers which lure he was caught and released on? Do you think he learns from his mistakes? Do you think he shares that knowledge with the rest of his tribe? Do you think Fish travel in tribes or schools? Do you think they have a bloocrab draw a picture of the lure so they can hang on the weeds with a warning on it? Or do you think he'll hit it again knowing that your going to release him because you released him last time? Or do you think he'll remember you more if you cook em' up?
....I know
you'll sure remember em' more.....
Confused yet?
