{just mentioned this in the "Kissing a bass" thread, but in case you were to miss that}

Have you ever held a bass out in front of you, horizontally, like for a photo, then shifted the fishes head away from you, then back towards you ? I swear that they will shift their eyes back and forth, to compensate for you moving them back and forth, so that they can maintain direct eye contact with you ! Think I'm kidding ? Try it ! It's pretty strange.

Peace,

Hey was that before or after that 6 pack you noticed this ;D

Maybe thats because they are fearful of getting eaten and trying to figure a way of eascaping?

Left handed pocket rockets  8-)

No ! Seriously..... and I don't think it's just me. But then again, I have more giant bass swim right up to the side of my boat, and stop to look straight at me, than anybody I ever talk to, also. I have know idea why this is. {I always talk to them like, "Ahh, come on... You know you want to come in the boat to see me" ! :-)}

But anyway, just try this first.... and then tell me I'm crazy :-)

Peace,

Dont forget that we Pennsylvanians are still dealing with hard water conditions.

Wait a month and I will let you know.

I was just watching a show where they were catching grouper.The guy said that grouper will do this.

I've never tried it but its the first thing Im gonna do if I get one tomarrow. I gotta see this.

Once I get out there I will see if a dinky fish will do it.  Cant help on the monsters.  :-/

It's bad ju-ju dude, If I were you I make a novena. (Catholic thing)

That's the "fish eye"

ask Muddy.

Ha. I can't say i have ever tried this. I guess im gonna have to try out of my own curiousity.

Never tried it,but will. How much did that hog you're holding weigh? Huge fish!!

Yes, I have noticed this too. Same goes for trout and bream. They look at you.

Wouldn't you keep and eye on your captor?

Chris,

Step away from the exhaust fumes....   ;D

Dude, where is your wife getting those mushrooms she has been using for her cooking? I have a suspicion they are not the right ones for eating, just the ones for seeing all the pretty colors. ;D
