awesome video Ken , really informative .
If I was that guy , after 5 casts , I would have been putting something else on and seen if I could have gotten a bite with a different presentation --then see if that change could produce a pattern that worked better , especially on those that didn't move at all .
tight lines , keep em coming .

I'm hoping that as they keep this going they start to try different baits to see how they react.

Answering several guys here at once, I agree it would be great if they made several presentations with several baits, but you have to remember this is a project they only get to work on one day every other week. So they have to find the fish, see if the fish spooks from the big motor, they set up and make 5 presentations from a distance and 5 from over the top. There simply isn't enough daylight in a day for them to find all these fish and then spend 20-30-40 minutes on each one. Also I'd love to see them approach those fish one day with the big motor and the next on trolling motor, it seems to me that if roughly 1/3rd of them spook from the big motor some percent of those same fish might also from the trolling motor, but again only so many hours in a day and you have to be consistent to establish data. Last note, basically what Todd says is of the 70% of fish that the big motor doesn't spook, the trolling motor then has absolutely zero impact on.

another interesting factor would be wind . I would assume those fish are less " spooky " in higher wind situation . I fish a couple of local lakes and if they have no wind , the fish seem to be way less aggressive and easier to spook . As soon as the wind picks up , they tend to turn on and less spooked .
