life imitates art

I was quite stricken by the similarities in the up close impression of
a trout being caught.
Take a minute to contrast Jeff's Montana picture of a gorgeous trout
with Gustave Courbet's 1872, "The Trout" (Oil on canvas).

Take a hard look at the trout, isolated from the rod, in the largest
image you can see.
Why? What am I supposed to be looking for?
In the painting, it appears as though the fish was caught on *live* bait.
