    Ive had a painted frogfish about two inches long for 5 days now. His diet consists of live ghost shrimp, i was able to get him to eat one peice of thawed silverside but i cant trick him into doing it again. I have tried hiding under a blankit and doing the "im alive" jig connected to a clear stif fplastic peice of thick fishing line style stuff..... i now have the peice of fish tetherd to the plastic wire coming out of the sand bed so the peice of fish is suspended in the water but not floating away. He seems to be looking at it but still no luck, Anyone have some advice or personal experience with this?

    Incognito would be your man. He's probably trained more fish to eat than anyone else on the site.
