My wife is an absolute expert at catching toadies,if any toadies are caught on a fishing trip, she'll be the one that caught it/them.She even caught 2 small toadies on the one hook once, I'll add a photo later if I can find a copy (I didn't take it)However, my reason for replying, she catches one eyed toadies regularly and on 2 occasions caught a Toadie with NO eyes (in the same location) I might mention that it was in good condition and so assume it is still able to find food., we always return them without harm.John JvS08
