Bass will (excuse the pun) eat just about anything. Anytime there's a post on bass fishing I always have to include my experiences fly casting using poppers. I have had L/M bass explode out of the water and catch the popper in mid-air before it ever reaches the surface of the water. Every time it happens it's just like I never seen it happen before! Now there may be other species of fish that do the same but all I ever experienced was the L/M bass.
