20A) Hooky
Original Airdate: 4/8/00

3. Yes
The hooked one wounded and bleeding becomes food for all that are hungry.

6. fish cant think
often times they will follow the hooked fish right up to the boat. Especially dolphin, sometimes we keep a hooked one in the water by the boat and catch the other that swim up to it

There are pink dolphins in the Amazon, I kid you not.

7. Its a metaphor from a quotation I heard, but I can't remember where...
"It is impossible for a free fish to understand what is happening to one that has been hooked."
