Anyone who ever played hooky from school in order to spend a day at the lake remembers the time taken to dig up worms. This was not always possible to do on the day prior to a fishing trip because, if you were skipping school to do it, your parents just might ask about the bucket of nightcrawlers in your room. Many people would make their own lures from colorful string known as jigs, but these days kids can buy a spinning grub from their local retailer.
Bright colors that would not fade easily in water were vital to this craft. The under-lake world is a dark one, and the brighter the threads utilized, the more likely it would be for a creature to visualize the lure, and be lured in. An accomplished artisan would be able to create a tail for their jig which would make it wobble slightly, left-to-right or up-and-down as the fisherman drew his line in slowly and steadily.
This wobbling motion is intended to imitate the movement of an injured fish or insect. Fish and other aquatic creatures can feel and hear the disruption this wobble creates in their environment, and they are able to pinpoint the basic location of this injured creature. Aquatic animals are easily caught by hooks because, while they can see the brilliant strings and feel the gentle wobble of the jig, they generally do not visualize the hook until it is too late.
Retailers who provide a modern version of this string jig have perfected the design of this style lure, including a much longer and more rounded tail. This particular design creates even greater visibility in the water and a much larger wobble. A larger wobble means greater water displacement, meaning the creatures of the dark will be given the impression that a much larger animal or insect has been injured.
The bigger the fish caught, the fewer baby fish are caught and released during the course of a day. This means that the humans can get started eating much earlier in the afternoon. The wobble of newer lures attracts larger fish, as smaller ones will avoid the indication that a larger fish is nearby because even an injured fish undergoing the death throes will be an opportunistic eater.
Under the waters of lakes and rivers on our planet lies an alien world. There is enough violence and horror in this place to keep any scary movie junky satisfied for life, which would not be long for most of us were we to be members of their environment. Everything in the world of fish, insects, and reptiles is both a predator, and potentially the prey of one of their neighbors, sometimes even their own kind.
Humans are merely tourists in this realm, and are basically the masters of their universe while they visit. Most lakes and rivers do not possess creatures large enough to eat human beings, although this generalization is not always true. There are some catfish and gar on record who have been large enough to kill and possibly eat humans, and the piranha in South America can collectively take down human beings.
Our ability to trick animals onto a dinner plate has allowed human beings to survive in spite of our vulnerability. We create faux prey to attract the attention of those we wish to eat, and then we take them by surprise by jerking them right of their world. We must seem like gods to them, and one cannot help but wonder if the younglings who are caught and then released return with wild stories of the world above the water.
