Great, great post. Thank you. Over the years I've vacilated between thinking fish were very smart or just sort of an instinctual drone. Then I'd see some behavoir or read a post like yours and change my mind. I've seen very large largemouths swim up to my boat and check me out. NOT follow the lure in. Come in from an entirely different direction. Perhaps those fish heard or sensed something. I don't know. I do know large fish will swim over to see what you are. And when they see you, you're done. Smart fish. An example of can't help themselves dronelike behavoir might be the way large stripers react to eels. Whether it's Merrimac fish feeding on small sandeels or Rowley River bass popping shrimp and silversides. Throw a 16in eel and the larger fish nail it. Perhaps their instincts make it an offer they can't refuse. Instinctual drones? Awhile back, on another board Ken talked about going to meet up with a school of bass he had known for years. The best new fish related idea I've heard in years. Image that as older fish die off younger fish join the school. Perhaps the fish in Ken's post above, the ones that made such a long swim, were doing what that school has always done. Is that instinctual or smart? Maybe a bit of both? Food for thought during your next late night lull.
