Just remember all those eels from all around the world finding their way
to Sargasso Sea every year ... and still many people will tell you eel is
inferior to bass :-)

Makes me wonder.......... 17 miles? How did she navigate? Smell? Surely
she wasn't THAT familiar with that many square miles of water

I took that comment to mean she traveled 17 miles in a boat, to be weighted,
then back to be released.

OK, trigger finger too fast. I went back and read it again, and see the bass
were all released at the same place, not carried back to where they were
caught. It is amazing they can get back home, especially that fast.

Yeah, but that is kinda the point. Eels do it every year, as do salmon and
other aquatic animals, but bass don't migrate normally. Bass finding its way
home is the exception, not something they do every year.

Ok, I just got up so maybe my sense of humor isn't quite awake yet, but
when I saw that I immediately thought of the line in Python's 'Holy
Grail'..."Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?" LoL

I see your point, Ronnie, and you're right. I kinda fell into the "apples
and oranges" thing. But still, I thought it was a fishes brain/"skills" so
they all should be able to do something like this? Nevermind...
