Rob, in the article where you state that our hypothesis or theories or whatever you wanna call them aren't universal, I think that's dead on. If anything in bass fishing was universal, it wouldn't be any fun. :7

I also agree about fish learning by seeing other fish caught on baits and actually being caught themselves. On a couple of smaller lakes I've seen a lure that was just absoltely on fire strike out in the same types of conditions. Now I dunno if that was from fish and their learning capacities or if the conditions just made something a smigen different, but I like to think over time they learn.

But also, how many of their lessons that bass get taught will be forgotten? Does a fish have the brain capacity to remember what he/she/other bass got caught on a year or two ago? "Interesting, huh." Very. :-)
