That's perhaps why bigger ones are getting caught and as they are so laid back, easier to land!

How long before a bait company offer oxazepam as a bait additive? :shocked: :Sarcasm:

It doesn't say anything in the report about them being easier to catch and laid back - in fact it says they eat quicker, catch more small fish - and therefore they are more lively.

The worst thing is that they're leaving their shoals. They're going to get eaten by the pike!
