Incredibly Inaccurate Fish

[Rojo]

Fishing the back of The Wastehouse in Pearl river one Fall it was super clear water. We were using shiners and with the water so clear you could see the nervous shiner down in the water darting around while little Crappie 5-6in long were trying to eat them but kept missing their prey. To me they must be the worst aim I have ever seen at eating live prey.

purely factual similar results here at home , it tries fairly often , but it fails everytime it seems to me
it is sneaky , but it misses them every time i watch the action
mind ya this part , them baitfish are pretty dang good at evading the strike as well
