The net is your friend. Your friend is the net.

I watched both, I don't get it?

Just proving the point that you can train them to jump right in the net.

ya, it was kind of missleading . i was totaly expecting someone to just YANK the net out with a fish in it :lol:.

I understood the tactic, Kevin. That isn't a bad idea. Now prove it works with another video yanking out that tang!

 

[kevin95695]

You start yankin' fish and most of 'em get itchy for a couple weeks. So if you wanna get some, you better pick your moments.

Anyway... Just showing that you can acclimate and trap *most* fish with this method.

Nice..
Now I get it

What the video doesn't show was the insane display the zebra darts put on about 15mins after feeding time... Never seen anything like it. They came front and center, flushed (literally) with color and the fins that run lengthwise (dorsal/anal) came stiff like razors. As they got bolder they started flexing ventral fins that are normally against their bodies and then flashed "beard" fins that we've never seen before that had amazing coloration.

We were dumbstruck.

Very nice. I sometimes feed my fish with the net. My purple tang just dives right in, but he is never the one I want to catch. It seems the one I want to catch just knows it and stays away. I hate it when fish are smarter than me!

I've seen this in person and it is VERY funny to watch!
