I wonder if the oxygen in the water(or lack of) has anything to do with it. I also wonder if the motor is depleting any oxygen from the water or just adding carbon monoxide.
Try this for a test: Fill your barrel to the same level and then dump it on your lawn without running the motor in it. Then check to see how many worms come up. That will indicate some kind of difference in the waterif there is any.
And I bet that the motor exhaust has little or no effect on fish while trolling except for the noise it makes. The hull of the boat moving over their heads is probably something else to that has an effect.
