He says “I have said that the hooked fish leaps in an effort toward freedom but why does the free fish also ven- ture into the air? First, the fish leaps for food; flying insect will tempt him, and he leaps in an endeavor to slap the insect with his tail to drown it. 1 have seen fish leap for grasshoppers flying low above the water, and I have seen them leap at birds; once 1 thought for an instant that the fish had captured a swallow skimming the surface of the water.

W. lls of having heard of actually fishing then, T think we are safe in saying that the great majority of fish leap in an endeavor to procure food: but they also leap because they are full of animal spirits, for the sheer joy of the thing. There is no question in my mind regarding the matter. Time and again 1 have seen bass leap again and again where there could be no effort to procure food, simply because, as the small Im\:-l express it, they had to do something.” Smith claims that 18 inches clear of the water (measuring from that part of the fish nearest to the surface while he is in the air) is about as high as bass jump. s are admittedly the best and cleanest jumpers of ail fresh-water fish.
