My guess is that the worms fall real slow and just make for an easy target
for the fish. No wasted energy there!

Tuesday after a local investigation, one of my employees and I
decided
to hit the Bass Pro Shop n Gurnee, Illinois. While there the staff began
feeding the fish tank occupants. First watched several fish swim under a
huge school of minnows of some type. Interestingly none ever hit the
school;
they all would wait until one minnow fell out of formation or lagged
behind
for just a bit then . . . POW! Now I know why those little guys bunch up
the
way they do.

And then the most interesting part. One guy started tossing night
crawlers into the tank and virtually every species went nuts on them. No
question who the Pizza King of food is with the fish. . . worms. And
then
along comes this six or seven lb. rainbow trout. We counted he ate 40
night
crawlers ! He swam around for about 10 minutes and then reguritated them
all
up and swam away. The rest of the fish tore into the left overs like
they
were prime rib. Even the staff were surprized at this behavior.

Most interesting thing for me about the whole thing though was the
universal appeal across species for the common night crawler. There were
juicy minnows in the tank, and two different types of pellets (some that
suspended), crawfish and the crawlers and all went nuts on those worms.
Hmmmmm think I'll pick up more plastics.
