acajun2 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I'm sure this question has been asked many times. Do larger bass eat smaller bass? Will a 5 lb'er eat a 1 lb'er? I just wonder if all these smaller bass I see along the banks of the pond I fish are actually bait for larger bass. Quote
gobig Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 They pretty much eat anything that will fit in thier mouths and even try to eat things to big to fit. 1 Quote
Super User deep Posted May 14, 2012 Super User Posted May 14, 2012 Will a 5 lb'er eat a 1 lb'er? I believe I saw a couple of pics of a 4 lb-er with a 2-lber in its throat a while back on texasfishingforum.. Quote

That Mattlures baby bass in Smallmouth pattern has caught me and a friend of mine a bunch of pig smallies....Mean ain't they! Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted May 14, 2012 Super User Posted May 14, 2012 They will eat anything,just like ME! Quote
Super User MCS Posted May 14, 2012 Super User Posted May 14, 2012 Bomber Square A in babybass is a very effective color for me for catching bass. If that counts? Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted May 14, 2012 Super User Posted May 14, 2012 Bass difinately are NOT C&R when it comes to their own. I have caught several bass on live bass. I think bass may prefer their own over shiners, shad and bream. I firmly believe a fish puts out a distress signal that intices others to eat it. Quote
craww Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 One of the coolest things I've seen in the great sport of fishing is when another larger predator will come in and grab whatever your reeling in. I've seen bass do this to other bass a few times now. Even had a big blue cat grab a 1lb bass and swim off with it once. Quote

aclark609 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I've read that larger bass will feed on smaller bass. In fact, I can remember catching a seven pounder on a rapala xrap in the pattern that looks very similar to a baby bass. Quote
