About three or four years ago I caught a 12' or so crappie that had no eyes. It wasn't like the eyes had been lost either. It was an obvious birth defect because there were just two flat silver places where the eyes belonged. Not even an eye socket.

Point here is that that fish was most likely three years old, and very healthy, yet it had never seen it's meal. They don't need to see to eat.
