    Default 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.

    WOW

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

    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'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.
