- 26:31and
- 26:32more

- 26:34And
- 26:34when
- 26:34I
- 26:35say
- 26:35chase,
- 26:36sometimes
- 26:37the
- 26:37chase
- 26:37is
- 26:38you're
- 26:38just
- 26:38moving
- 26:38it
- 26:39too
- 26:39fast.
- 26:39And
- 26:39the
- 26:40reason
- 26:40they
- 26:40didn't
- 26:40bite
- 26:40it
- 26:41is
- 26:41because
- 26:41you're
- 26:41moving
- 26:41too
- 26:42fast.
- 26:42You
- 26:42mean
- 26:43it
- 26:43slower.
- 26:44But
- 26:44the
- 26:44times
- 26:45when
- 26:45they're,
- 26:47you're,
- 26:48you're
- 26:48moving
- 26:48at
- 26:49that
- 26:49medium
- 26:49speed
- 26:50and
- 26:50you're
- 26:51moving
- 26:51fish
- 26:51but
- 26:52you're
- 26:52not
- 26:52getting
- 26:52them
- 26:53maybe
- 26:54move
- 26:54it
- 26:54faster,
- 26:55maybe
- 26:55they
- 26:55want
- 26:56it
- 26:56faster.
- 26:57And
- 26:57certainly
- 26:57the
- 26:57warmer
- 26:58times
- 26:58of
- 26:58the
- 26:58year
- 26:58in
- 26:59clear
- 26:59water,
- 27:00there
- 27:00are

- 27:02it
- 27:03pretty
- 27:03quick
- 27:04to
- 27:05show
- 27:05it
- 27:05it's
- 27:05real.
- 27:06Because
- 27:06if
- 27:06it's
- 27:06moving
- 27:07too
- 27:07slow
- 27:07and
- 27:08they
