****** Pulled from the StriperTalk!! Message Board here******

Just got back from a lunch time stroll down the street to the New England Aquarium. A couple people from work had said that the seals were gone and stripers were in!!! Makes sense to me, I mean, who want's to see seals right??? Everyone wants stripers... Anyway, go down to take a look and I was wondering if I should bring some eels next time and toss them in. Watch under consitions, that while not quite natural, would provide a controlled environment where I could clearly see how that bass would consume those eels (no hook in them though, Patrick ;P). Well, it might just be possible!!! The tank (obviously) is closed off on all sides but there is no roof!! I might just be able to toss some in.... Well, there are probably 50 fish in there (all fat) rangin from about 4 pounds up to about 35-40!!! There is real one nice fish in there and while most of the smaller fish school together, they are following the big fish most of the time. As the big girl is doing laps near the bottom of the tank, the rest of the fish, including several over twenty pounds are collecting in a big school and following the largest bass slowly winding her way aroung the tank... Pretty cool to see it and if any of you get the chance you should see them. I can't imagine they'll be here for long but it was very interesting to see... Tough to see with some of the glare on the tank but here are a couple shots...
