One eyed fish

[Stumpy-USA2]

Nothing ever really sneaks up on a fish, they all have a leteral line that can detect pressure changes and movement. Being blind in one eye may make them more skittish to things on that side.

Hi tunaman,
# # # # # # # # # I crossed paths with a one eyed Flathead in my local cannals.I assure you he had no problem finding my lure.As mentioned above it seemed that with the eye being removed the skin had just grown over,Leaving only a minor indentation.It was a healthy fish around 60cm,And appeared to have not suffered too much from it's misfortune.Hopefully,He is probably now a she,And still hunting effectively.

Stumpy USA. The latral line can only help so much. Lets say a high speed fish was coming at full pace to take it out, with it only having one eye,
I think the poor bugger is a Quick lunch.

Hardb8. Its true that some fish will go on living without much problem, but for some, it would mean death.
I caught a yellowtail once, and it had one eye damaged, and the other eye was missing. When it was put out for livebait, I watched as a big kingfish screamed out of the deep, and the yellowtail didnt take any
action to get out the way.
There were five other livebaits in the water that day, and this kingfish seemed to know that, it was a fish that could not see.
