mram10us Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I was watching some youtube clips and the guy mentioned that older big bass will spit the bait quicker. How on earth does anyone know that? Did they see it? If they do spit it quickly, you don't catch them, so how do you know it was a big bass? Sight fishing maybe??? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 2, 2014 Global Moderator Posted March 2, 2014 They might be able to spit the bait faster because they can exert more force when they blow out a bait, but there's no way they always spit the bait out faster. I've had some big fish eat a bait and just sit there for several seconds while I'm weighing my bait and trying to decide if it's a fish or not. 2 Quote
Todd2 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Maybe, if we assume an older bass has been caught more it seems reasonable that it's a possibility that they reject a lure quicker through the experience of having a jig blow through the roof of their mouth. Quote
Super User WRB Posted March 2, 2014 Super User Posted March 2, 2014 Simple physics; big bass have big mouths and eject lures easily without you knowing it. Smaller bass tend to strike a lure that doesn't fit inside their smaller mouth and run off with the lure so other bass can't steal it from them. Very easy to detect a strike when the bass moves the lure,difficult when there isn't any movement. Tom 2 Quote

mram10us Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 I was assuming the older a fish is, the bigger it is than others in the same body of water. I see what you mean by "big" not "old" If this is indeed true, than today on the lake, that is why I only caught 3 keepers all day The others must have all been monsters! (or perch) Quote

AQUA VELVA Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Iv'e seen vidio of a good size bass inhaling a mouthful of crankbait and blowing it out as fast as you can blink. Quote
mrmacwvu1 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Very true. No arguments here. Sounds like my ex wife and I Quote
