As it happens, the three parts cover different topics. Part 1 is strictly on the environment, part 2 covers the fish themselves, and only in Part 3 does he actually get into functional tips on how to properly kick the fish's asses.
So I started in on part 2, and it was immediately informative. Not just on how fish work biologically, but how they think, too. Its really starting to get good. Here is a disturbing fun-fin-fact. Fish look for eyes, because they are the least camouflage-able feature of a fish. So a majority of fish-on-fish strikes are on the EYES. Fish are weird. That's why lures always have eyes.

ReplyDeleteIt was just a funny moment. Shows how small Charleston is. I was out for drinks with Nate and Adam Whiting, and I looked one way and it was the chef/owner of Xiu Bao Biscuit, and on the other side was Josh from Two Boroughs. 4 executive chefs, all under-appreciated (if you ask me, by jingo), sitting within 15 feet one night outta nowhere... Just a cool little thing.
