Thats an interesting vid for sure. Man they sure suck those fish back. It makes me think the subtle bite they are known for is not a bite at all, maybe just their nose rubbing on the leader as they approach the bait. Because once they decide they want the bait it disappears quicker than my old lab could make a donut disappear.

I'm 99% sure some of the rapid little "bites" that are different from small fish, are the line rubbing against the scutes on the side.  Someone I was fishing with a friend and he suggested the fish might lay on top of the bait to guard it when they're full.  We kept missing fish during these "bites" until we belly-hooked a sturgeon.

this is a very interesting video. Nice, but what ever happen to " DON'T FEED THE WILDLIFE"   It reminds me of the LUNA story.
