Which Fish Species Hears the Best?

If you can pattern cats on an artificial hardbait, you'll make some kind of angling history. I've seen a few caught on spinner baits and had one or two bullheads eat a crappie jig over the years, but always by fluke.
Good luck! I agree, catching one on a crank would be awesome. The hit, I imagine, would be very violent.
