Do stripers use their right eye to attack with??

a friend of mine who made this comment. He is a very experienced fisherman, and a darn good one at that. FACT OR FICTION? The funny thing is right after he told me this I caught and released a striper that had his left eye damaged Mmmmmmm.

I think it's a personal preference. A fish is going to attack it's prey from any place it has the advantage regardless of what the eye it's using.

What, now I have to keep records of whether I'm getting hits while circling the ledges clockwise vs counter clockwise . That's a new one to me and I'm just curious how anyone determined that little bit of trivia? If someone has a direct line to a spokesman for the stripers in our waters, I'd like to make a request .

I got a chuckle from that Saltheart, but that's bad.

Hey #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, your reply is not that clear to me, care to elaborate
