When I was a young boy, I used to go fishing with a friend and his family. Those fishing trips were grand affairs. We would find a prime spot on the lake, near a picnic table and a grill. We would play frisbee, fly kites, and cook out on the grill. But by and far, my favorite thing to do was fish.
At the end of one particularly long and fun day of fishing, it was getting dark so we made our final casts and let the bobbers sit while we packed up. We packed up our worms and corn and fish eggs, sorted out our tackle-boxes and then reeled in.
As we walked up the dock toward shore, my friends line was hanging out over the water. Suddenly, a fish jumped out of the water, took the hook and squirmed for life. There was no bait on it. He wasn't trying to catch anything.
When we asked my friends grandfather why the fish did that, his reply was, "Fish are stupid."

I probably should have been a little more clear that I was being tongue in cheek with my OP. I somethimes think people know me better than they actually do. Next time I will make sure the requisite TLA's and emoticons are in place.
