It's what I've heard termed as an "escort".
The fish that folow your hooked fish are tagging along because most hooked fish will regurgitate the contents of their stomach to try and dislodge the hook. This fish "chum" is food that the escorts were hoping for.
By tossing another offering behind your hooked fish, it fools the others into thinking they have a free meal.
It's just another interesting aspect of fishing that continues to impress me.
