Diggy Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Went fishing, looked down and saw this, immediately started laughing. I was able to separate them and the one being swallowed swam off..... I was able to revive the ambitious bass after a few attempts, they both almost died. I did catch a dink 5 Quote
OkeechobeeAngler Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Talking about biting off more than you can chew. Nice peacock. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 14, 2013 BassResource.com Administrator Posted March 14, 2013 Wow, incredible. Even better you were able to save them! Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 Wow....the one on the right looks smaller than the one he's trying to eat. How could he even think that was a good idea? Quote
HeavyDluxe Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I wonder what the odds are of seeing something like that... There's a video on youtoobs of an older guy fishing from a boat and coming across two bass locked up the same way. I would think it's a rare thing, even so. Neat! Quote
prjavelin Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 not so rare i guess. a guy here in pr has a couple pictures of it. they say that happens when two bass attack the same shad. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 Never seen that before with bass. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 Freakin' awesome! Lol Quote
Jigs 4 Pigs Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Well... we shouldn't get the question "Do you think this bait is too big?" anymore!! Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 That's awesome. And love the peacock bass too!! Quote
Super User tomustang Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 Wow....the one on the right looks smaller than the one he's trying to eat. How could he even think that was a good idea? You know what they say "when you're hungry, you gotta eat" Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 Have seen one bass attack another bass as I was reeling in one that I had hooked. The second bass spit out the one I had on the line and swam away. The one I caught was OK. However, your pic takes the cake! Quote
RyneB Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Well... we shouldn't get the question "Do you think this bait is too big?" anymore!! hahaha, i was thinking the same thing. Nice peacock. Catching a peacock is on my fishing bucket list. Preferably in the amazon on a big wood topwater, but realistically i feel florida is a reasonable dream. Is the fight comparable to a smallie? Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 Yikes, I've never seen that before! Thanks for posting. BTW, that peacock is a beauty for sure! Quote
The Rooster Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I used to try to tell a friend just getting into fishing about the different things I'd do to fool bass into hitting. He said I gave the fish too much credit for intelligence. He used to say "fish are stupid". I guess this proves it. Quote
quanjig Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Diggy, first of all, your avitar freaks me out! Secondly, that is very cool and nice you were able to "de-couple" the fish and get them to swim away, thirdly, your avitar freaks me out! 1 Quote
CountBassula Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I think that answers the question of "Bass getting conditioned or not?" LOL Quote
Super User Ratherbfishing Posted March 19, 2013 Super User Posted March 19, 2013 Good argument for NOT trying to give them mouth to mouth resuscitation. Quote
Bryce Hartzog Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 That's Awesome. Had similar situation working on the border where a 6' indigo snake was trying to eat a 7'6" indigo and had over a foot of him in his stomach. Quote
