Giant Bass!

[John 3:16]

You guys ain't gonna beleive this one.I was out fishin a small lake the other day when I happened to notice a pecan on a partially submerged tree stump.I guess some years ago the lake had filled and drowned the old oak.The trunk of the tree had fallen and was lying up onto the bank.As I was studying the pecan on the stump a squirrel wandered up and also spotted it.He just couldn't take it! He jumped up and ran down the tree trunk onto the stump and grabbed the pecan! To my amazement, a huge Bass jumped up and grabbed the squirrel and was gone!As you can imagine I was bumfuzzled.Then, as I thought I had seen it all,The Ol' Bass came up and put another pecan on the stump.... God forgive me for that story.

Hi John,

I can believe it buddy. A bit of
squirrel tailing works well on most all
of my warmwater flies.*G* And all of us
Bubbas here in the south know just how
smart them big ol' largemouth bass are.*G*
Warm regards, Jim

That's nothing. Once I was fishing with my husband down on Lake Okeechobee and I caught a 1934 vintage coleman lantern... and it was still burning!


I'll blow out my lantern if you'll loose the second peacan.

Shirleybug,
There wasn't a second pecan.When the Bass grabbed the squirrel he took the pecan away from him. Those Colemans are good lanterns!

Oh, you southern guys think we northerners are SO SO gullible. Well I, for one don't believe it. A bass??? nope. I'd believe it of a carp, sure. But not a bass.

I'd pick a bass over a carp. Bass have been know to eat field mice. Also, a carp, although an opertunistic feeder, doesnt usually display predatory behavior like that.Im not saying a carp wouldnt do it, i just think a bass is more likely

now you can't expect me to believe that a bass would waste a perfectly good pecan like that.....

I find it hard to believe even a large bass could take down a full grown gray or fox squirrel without a fight. I've got a couple marks on the barrel of my .22 when the squirrel I poked with it to see if it was dead latched onto it. Glad I didn't use my finger to poke it. Maybe it was one of those piddly red pine squirrels or a chipmunk. That would be a bit more plausible. Though I did see a squirrel have the crap scared out it, probably by a bass. It had worked its way down a fallen tree, probably to get itself a drink from the creek. Not sure whether whatever blew up under it was after the squirrel or its tail, but I haven't seen squirrel move that fast since I missed one at 10 yards with a load of 6 shot.
