Trying to find a study on fish memory?

6 or 7 years ago a friend showed me an article from a fishing magazine that studied how long different fish remember lures. Does anyone know where this came from or can anyone find it? I am looking for this particular study, not something like it. The findings were listed by fish, with approximate "memory" of a specific lure and how long it would take before they forgot the lure had a hook in it. Largemouth bass had a long memory as far as fish go, like 10 or 12 months, bluegill were found to have a very short memory and the dumbest fish according to this study was the yellow perch which had no detectable memory. I would love to find this article again.
