If evolution is real, then why haven't fish evolved to ignore bait?

evolution does a shitty job optimizing individuals. it is stochastic group optimization that leads to many dead ends, often for the groups themselves.

Trout should be better at avoiding lures and hooks and who says there not. Fishing tech has improved to catch smarter trout.

Dude, how do you think life got on the ground first time? Fish have genetically encoded to get on the bait?

Can't you imagine evolved life on the ground without JESUS, the fisher?

Good meta thread.
The answer though is because bait fishing was very small scale until about 100 somesuch years ago.

Because there is a tradeoff between getting baited sometimes and starving to death because you are too paranoid of getting baited. The bait is often something actually edible for the fish and we are quite good at making the hook and line hard to see for the fish.

Fish eating bate shows that evolution is working perfectly but your understanding of it isn't.
