Bruce Robison was also the first to observe the transparent head of the barreleye fish Macropinna microstoma.

Winteria, a genus of barreleye fishes containing only the species Winteria telescopa.

It and the glasshead barreleye fish are the only vertebrates known to employ a mirror, in addition to a lens, to focus an image in its eyes.

We see the barreleye fish, whose eyes extend from its head on tubes, Anableps anableps, a fish with four eyes, and the mantis fish whose color vision is so acute, Dr. Knowlton writes, that it makes what we see look like it is “practically in black and white.”

The fish was active and not yet "suspicious," as Craig would say of spooked fish.

It is important to note this as I have seen a number of people spook fish by casting thinking the opportunity is about to be lost.

Casts of 20-25 metres allow you to probe distant pockets and depressions without spooking fish.

Many anglers worry that the appearance of a bullet-shaped weight in front of a tube will spook fish.

A spooked fish emits a pheromone that warns other nearby fish of potential danger.

The kayak has long been a means of transportation and a stealth means of approaching easily spooked fish, such as cobia and flounder.

Barreleyes, also known as spook fish (a name also applied to several species of chimaera), are small deep-sea argentiniform fish comprising the family Opisthoproctidae found in tropical-to-temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.

It is also a true salt water tropical condition line and has an aggressive forward taper to punch out your fly, a long belly to hold it in the air for long distance casts and a slow rate of sink so it won't spook fish like Flathead in shallow water.

Bruce Robison was also the first to observe the transparent head of the barreleye fish Macropinna microstoma.

The barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) is adapted for life in a pitch-black environment of the deep sea , where sunlight does not reach.

The first episode aired on March 24, 2010, and included a contortionist, a blind man who uses echolocation, microscopic art by Willard Wigan, the fish Macropinna microstoma, a lyrebird, a man who roller skated on a roller coaster, and several other subjects.
