"'In a large aquarium containing largemouth bass, we hung arrays of fishing lines from surface to bottom,' he explains. 'A sensor attached tot eh apparatus recorded contacts with the lines as bass swam around the tank. The basis of this test was the assumption that bass would try to avoid bumping into objects underwater, a tendency we have observed when conducting other research.'
'Bass bumped into the 10--pound test fluorocarbon line considerably more frequently than 10-pound mono, suggesting that they couldn't see it nearly as well.'"
