RG/AR, I can't imagine that being the case unless the bass were not being fed properly.

It is a well known fact that starved bass will eat literally anything that moves, and I've seen cases before where bass have been underfed and then put into a tank for a demonstration of a lure's "attractive power".

In fact, I do believe there have been some criminal penalties imposed upon folks in, maybe Texas, regarding the latter. I think people have deliberately starved bass before, because I've seen things about it on other message boards.


Jeff, bass seem to follow each other towards food, and I assume that they'd not be wanting to eat the other bass but steal the food away. Must be one hell of a fly!
