Are bigger bugs needed?
This guy seemed to want a wad of feathers that was quite substantial. [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/leesoares/fish1.jpg:6bd72]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/leesoares/fish1.jpg[/url:6bd72]

Took me a minute to figure out what that was. I saw a video of a bass eat a duckling, that that looks like a full grown coot.

More like a teal or maybe a diver....if we can figure it out we can ty some up...and figure out if it should be wet or dry....

no small duck is safe in pike country, nor are muskrats, mice, rats, snakes, gulls...

Some people have all the luck...you went fishing and brought home free tying supplies! http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

When I was a kid fishing for LM bass, I caught a fairly nice fish of about 18 inches on an eight inch jointed pike lure. When I landed him, I found he had a duckling still in his gullet and three more in his belly. With a fly rod at least, if you can cast it, they can eat it.

I have seen bass hit a duckling swimming with mom.It was wild but never anything that big.Hungry bugger wasn't he.

I've caught several bass over the years that still had a previous meal in their mouth/throat when they took my fly/lure.
Two in particular stand out.
While unhooking one that I caught in a small pond along the edge of some reeds, I noticed what I thought was the tail of a small fish deep in its mouth. Turned out to be a red winged blackbird. There were quite a few of them flitting through the reeds and I guess this one got a bit too close to the water.
On another outing, I was fishing along the edge of some weed mat when I say the mat sort of "hump up", so I cast a Clouser Minnow directly to the edge adjacent to the movement. One twitch and a 6 lb largemouth took the Clouser. After landing the fish (which was quite a chore on a 5 wt.) I pulled a 10 inch bass out of its throat before releasing BOTH fish. Yep, the 10 incher was still alive. I figured that was what the movement in the mat was all about - the big fish eating the little one.
