The lazy lemon ...

Post by Matt Flynn »

Dubbed lemons in the NT, they are tawny nurse sharks, and they apparently have an unusual metabolism ... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 220322.htm

So, why are they so often first to find the squid on the hook?

Because we fish the same reefs so often that they just sit and wait for the next sucker to come along and donate a fish, hook and sinker to there collection.
