So it turns out that fish going deaf to due to global warming is really a survival advantage.

"My experience with fish is they will wander far and wide," he added.

My experience with fish is about the same. Plus, my experience with humans makes it impossible for me to imagine that nobody will attempt to steal perfectly trained fish...

You ain’t gonna *believe* this one.

Is this like a Ameglian Major Cow? Excluding the fact that it's a fish and not a cow.

Indeed, my experience is that they don't do very well once you put them on a leash.

teaching fish to commit suicide - great.

[Paine in the Neck]

Like Eloi to the Morlocks.

"remote-control fish"

Obvious military applications. The Incredible Mr. Limpet could work on the project as a consultant.

What?

Here’s that secret crappie technique you asked about Lurker (LOL).

Just kidding, I had a friend ping me on this just now, so I couldn’t pass up the chance to tease you.

I’ll email you the Super Secret Crappie technique later, hitting the bed now.

Bert and Ernie figured this out years ago.

"Bert and Ernie figured this out years ago."

They've got nothing on these guys. It's unbelieveable, check it out.

That’s fantastic. What a perfect fishing for kids, they don’t even have to bait the hook.

Apparently, your fish may have been colorblind, or as somehow seems more likely, they were waiting for you to offer them that fabulous Australian dessert, The Pavlova.

As far as using sound goes, I see no reason why fish should not be subjected to the same boring stories as fishermen, not to mention the lies. This of course, would not work with Maine fish. Their sense of humor is so dry, I'm surprised they can even swim.

Now, if you was to ring a bell every time you fed lab fish, they of course would salivate like crazy when that bell rang, whether or not food was present. Of course, them being under water and all makes the phenomenon hard to document.

You'll just take my word for it. A friend of mine once had an uncle who lived near a scientist.

And then there's this guy.

See post # 18.

Maybe it's hand signals...maybe they speak sign language...

....in re link in Post 18...

First it was Horse Whisperers, than the TV Dog whisperer, ... now this revoltin'development. According to the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the training of fish is a sign of the End Times, for white people anyway. But, I just ain't worried about it.

All them fish is doin' is swimmin' in circles. Now if they was able to bread themselves, grease a skillet, heat it up, and then jump in, why then I'd be impressed.
