I've been thinking about catch and release, and i thought about something like this:
why not reward the fish that we release with a little food so it will be more eager to take a lure afterwards?
it is known that some times, if the fish is not too stressed, it will return the same place and be willing to bite again
can we give to a trout a little corn or something?
what can we give to a steelhead? :)
sounds very funny but who knows... (can tell us more)
-
What a great idea !! I'll be sure to pack a little extra along with my lunch next time. ::)
-
We can call it "Catch, Feed & Release" or CF&R.....
I'm looking forward to a new thread discussing the merits of C&R versus CF&R versus B&E (bonk & eat) ;D
-
of course, there would me many changes;
like steelhead bait and candies shop
-
I prefer to reward the fish with an introduction to the back end of my leatherman. It's a bit contrived to think that we're going to reward the fish for biting, we are after all hooking them in the face with sharp steel things, dragging them onto land, and killing them. It's not exactly a tea and biscuit affair.
-
is it illegal to stuff a steelhead throat with a small herring?
does that hurt him?
-
some fish are that hungry that after you release them they go back the same spot and bite again;
maybe not the stress is low but hunger is great...
-
why not just take them to a fish spa. Hell thats a damn good idea too. Then they'd bite every time!!!
-
lol....interesting

Steelhead are carnivore; they prefer meat. :D

How about this......A guy like 6'-6" and 280 lbs chases you through a dark alley, threatning to kick your butt .you run for a few blocks up a bunch of stairs and he catches you, hold you down for a while. he holds you up snaps a few photos ,pats you on the head. (now your heart is pumping like a mofo and your shaking like a leaf)
what would you do if he tried to shove a cheese burger in your mouth ? (mind you this would not work if you were Marco, he would still eat the cheese burger)

Who wouldnt want a cheese burger right after a nice run!!
I think the issue is more in trying to get fish to eat while its out of the water...

I've actually had this conversation before with my girlfriend. She feels a lot better about catching and releasing fish if they manage to swallow the bait while she is letting them go, but we still have not found a way to actually have the fish willingly take the bait after being caught (except bullheads, they will eat anything anytime).

picture this:
you arrive on the shore of the lake early in the morning ;
as soon as you put together your tackle, the fish start to jump arround; from far away you can see the water swirls
the fish make to get to your fishing spot; as soon as you cast your spinner, a feeding frenzy starts...
nah...i wouldn't like it...
a lot of the rainbow fish I've caught on the lake had nothing in its stomach; sometimes some green-black paste,
which is a sign that it fed on grass or algae; since we will catch and release them anyways, why not give them a snack as well?

April 1 is still more than 8 months away. ::) ::)
Maybe try again then?
And Marco would be double fisting cheeseburgers as he was trying to get away! ;D ;D I think he would prefer a dessert!

you can train fish in a small pond enviroment, but not thinking a lake or river.
I had fish that would jump up and take food from my hand, it only took a few months to train.

Maybe you can train small bait fish to lure big fish................
