Another interesting study I ran across. This one was specifically looking at whether or not a fish is affected by a lure left in their mouth. It's from a saltwater fishing group, but the study was done on a freshwater fish.

Thats really interesting.  Its surprising how quickly they shook even barbed crankbait hooks.

I was too. I also thought it was weird that they were able to get a tongue hooked crank out quicker than one in their lower jaw. 

Cool study. I wonder if bass would shake it just as easily. Probably so...

Probably. They seem to have no issues shaking them just as I get them to the bank...

Thanks for sharing!  Very interesting study and results.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to share this with a few friends.
