I did an experiment with bluegill, and it may be useful to anybody who goes sunfish fishing. It involved the senses of bluegill, and I found out that fish used sight most to locate their fish. The averages of the other senses were the same, except for the "touch" sense. That test had no results; in other words, the fish did not react at all.

daveim,

I'd like to hear more about your experiments...methods?? numbers of fish?? etc.

How did you determine no reaction to "touch"?

In my experience, BG are very sensitive to smell....how did that sense stack up?

Love experiments and look forward to hearing more about yours.
