Prey items are usually smaller fish (such as spurdogs, rays, sand eels, sculpins, sea snails, cod, whiting, pouting, haddock, flatfishes) but a range of items have been found in angler fish stomachs including; lobsters, crabs, squids and occasionally seabirds.

The angler is encouraged to learn all he can about the fish being pursued and take care of the health of his stream.
When freshwater fishing, catch and release of wild fish is more than a management tool to me.

I was fishing at the mouth of a trophy steelhead stream on Chichagof Island in early May. I had just hooked and released a fine fish, a repeat spawner that was nearly 36 inches long.

When bass fishing exploded into popularity a couple of decades ago, it set the stage for accelerated rod, reel, boat, motor and electronic fishing accessory development and created an atmosphere in which increased knowledge of fish and fishing techniques became important to even the average fisherman.
Because the fishes' metabolism is slowed by cold water, bass won't move very far for a bite to eat in the spring, nor will they expend much energy trying to capture a fast-moving lure.
For instance, it allows the angler to fish the deep-water side of cover which is more likely to attract fish during certain parts of the year.
