Hand-feeding a rainbow trout
I've tried to hand-feed rainbow trout lots of times, I've been super successful 3 times in about 30 years!
Do I get bitten? Yes!
Does it hurt? Nope.
Any difference between feeding a rainbow trout and a smallmouth bass?
Yes! Watch the video to see how!!!!

For the first time, a seiche event has been filmed from under the Great Lakes and it's crazy!!!

    I caught one of these guys yesterday in my creek... It's beautiful. I keep him in my freshwater tank. These have got to be the most colorful freshwater fish. I swear it's like the freshwater equivalent to a clownfish. And I got lucky because usually these guys are super hard to catch but luckily I caught him off - guard and it even turned out to be SUPER colorful. I know I'm ranting so much but it's awesome because it's like catching a tropical fish in a little creek.

    We seem to have opposite issues. I never have issues with smallmouths taking food from me but trout never give me the chance. Personal preference I guess. Makes you wonder if the fish recognize individual divers and have “opinions” about all of us

    • @PolkaDotPerch
      @PolkaDotPerch 21 день назад

      Sorry for not wording that better. By proportionally, I meant that we see lots (like 1-2 dozen) smallmouth on every dive and one or two of the smaller ones will often feed. So, that's like a ratio of 2:24 (on every dive.). But my lifetime record with rainbows is like 3:5. In that way, I've been more successful with rainbows 😀 But interestingly, there was a controlled study done to see if fish can recognize individuals and the answer was yes! For example, captive fish do react differently to different caretakers.

      The upper St. Clair River. If you're not familiar it's a great dive area but, like many great dive sites, there are some significant hazards that need to be acknowledged and respected. Anchor Bay Scuba is the closest dive shop for more info on diving the area.

      So far we've seen 28 different species!! We'll be posting a video shortly with a shot of most (there's a couple we saw but didn't record!) As for the corn cob 🤷‍♂ Cormorants swallow fish whole so the size and shape shouldn't be a problem. They also digest the whole fish bones and all so perhaps they could break down a corn cob. We asked two biologists and neither had a clue since it's not something they had ever heard of happening!?! Thanks for commenting!
