Super User Catch and Grease Posted August 19, 2014 Super User Posted August 19, 2014 Wow that's cool! I saw a baby duck get hit and spit back out in a video once, I think it was the Bigmouth video... Quote
bassguytom Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 That looks just like my live target mouse. Other then the tiny human hand that's in there also. I have never caught a bass that had a live mouse in her but have caught lots on my topwater mouse. Thanks for posting that. Quote
Smokinal Posted August 19, 2014 Author Posted August 19, 2014 Ya it was pretty cool. I would say the mouse had been swallowed and was half regurgitated during the fight because it looked partially digested. Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Caught this guy on Sunday More the reason to stock up on mouse lures! Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted August 20, 2014 Super User Posted August 20, 2014 Sweet pic and a heck of a surprise! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 20, 2014 Global Moderator Posted August 20, 2014 When I was 5 or 6 I caught a 3 pound largemouth in my grandparents pond. This was when fish were for food for my family, not for fun. My grandma, who is deathly afraid of mice, was filleting this bass and it turns out he had a recently eaten field mouse in his stomach. I don't remember my grandma cleaning any more fish after that. 2 Quote

Super User Sam Posted August 20, 2014 Super User Posted August 20, 2014 Wow that's cool! I saw a baby duck get hit and spit back out in a video once, I think it was the Bigmouth video... Yes. It was in one of Uncle Homers videos. Bass are predators and will hit at anything to determine if it is food. This is why we use scent to try to have the bass retain our bait in their mouths a few seconds longer so we can have a better chance of setting the hook. 2 Quote

I've considered buying some, but can't shake the feeling I'm getting bamboozled. I'd give some a shot on your recommendation. Quote
Smokinal Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 ^^^I like Megastrike. Not as an attractant, but as Sam said, to help make them hold the bait that split second longer to get a hookset. 3 Quote

I use JJ's magic, but like mentioned above I don't think it "attracts" bass but I do believe it makes them think its real longer after biting, I use it mainly for the colors. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted August 21, 2014 Super User Posted August 21, 2014 Megastrike for scent and JJ'for adding color to your soft plastics. Or some of the others like spike it,dip and glo if you can't find JJ's. 1 Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Caught this guy on Sunday That is really cool. I saw a bass eat a swallow the other day. Then I caught the bass a 4-12 on a frog. It spit up the bird. 2 Quote

Super User Ratherbfishing Posted August 21, 2014 Super User Posted August 21, 2014 This is cool (not for the mouse) but i doubt bass specifically target mice. A buddy and I fish white Moss Mouse's (mice?) over slop all the time and while we catch fish, it's questionable if the fish know (or care) whether they are mice or just SOMETHING which is edible. I do sometimes jokingly suggest that my moss mouse which still has all its whiskers catches more fish than it's whiskerless cousin. 1 Quote

I do sometimes jokingly suggest that my moss mouse which still has all its whiskers catches more fish than it's whiskerless cousin. Twice in my life we've caught mice live in regular snap traps. Let them go in the lake at the dock and both got eaten almost immediately after swimming around for about 4 seconds. One was by a big pike and the other was a big smallmouth. 1 Quote

It's not that they're specifically targeting anything, it's that no predator will pass up a meal of red meat when presented with it. 1 Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted August 23, 2014 Super User Posted August 23, 2014 Wow that's cool! I saw a baby duck get hit and spit back out in a video once, I think it was the Bigmouth video... We have a city park lake that the bass stalk the baby ducks. There are only a few places where they can get out onto some rocks, when they enter the water they are picked off. See a boil, hear the baby duck and then a splash and one less baby duckling. Come back an hr later and facing the rocks along the shore you will see 6-8lb bass waiting for another chance for a meal. Within 2 days 12 ducklings reduced to 0. 2 Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 This 4-11 was aught on the livetarget mouse earlier this year And the topwater bait "Flipin the Bird" has produced a few 4+ bass 2 Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted August 24, 2014 Super User Posted August 24, 2014 the "Flipping the Bird" is an awesome softbody frog as well as the Live Target Field mouse. Quote
