Bass eats baby duck

[slonezp]

Tastes like chicken

It happened so fast I missed it the first time I watched it.  Had to watch it a second time.

Neat. Always amazing to see bass hunt.

 

I'm guessing though, that that bass was a fed/trained fish. The duck being alone was odd; it didn't act like a wild duckling.

Very possible...

Cool !

 

I have bass fished all my life - 65 years but now fish for snook more often. An example of why is on a video you can google showing a snook trying to eat a 5 lb. bass. It's pretty neat.

 

I have seen that video before, that bass was very beat up from the looks of it. How big you think that Snook was? The +40 inchers I have caught had a mouth big enough to eat a 2-3 pound bass, not sure if a low/mid 40's Snook can swallow a +20 inch, 5 pound bass.

The bass does look like a well trained pet bass since it eagerly ate the baby duck. There's a lake I fish where I have seen bass eat baby ducks, but I have only seen bass eat baby ducks 2 times in this lake. Have heard big splashes at night time and notice less baby ducks the next couple days in this lake, so something must be eating them.

I saw it once on the lake and it was pretty amazing to see.The duck was injured.Not sure if the bass had been hitting it to mess it up but the next thing was a splash and do more duckling.

I wonDer if that duckling got put there. Never have I ever seen a baby duck swim that far away from the rest of the brood and mother

It happens quick. Short and sweet. This is why I love bass. Kind of reminds me of a buddy of mine... Not picky. 

Lightning fast.

 

Tip: hit the gear in the bottom right corner, you can change the speed to 25% of normal speed, and it's STILL almost too fast to see.

I saw bullfrogs eat baby ducks in my Grandfather's pond all the time growing up. If we caught them we'd usually beat the frog until he spit out the duck and nurse the duckling back to health (my Grandfather loved the ducks). But after seeing this video I so want to try that Savage Gear Suicide Duck...lol.

I thought you were talking about this video.

I have personally seen a baby duck taken by a big bass in a neighborhood lake.  The mother had 6 baby ducks when I first saw her.  Two weeks later she only had two left.  I'm sure some big bass find an easy meal with a baby duck. 

 

So do snapping turtles.  I've seen them many times lying in wait in the shallows for them to pass overhead.  Never actually saw them take one but I know darn well what they were doing there.

I've seen what I think was a 4 lb smallie take a 9-12  inch snake off the surface before. Was shocking to say the least!

I've seen it happen.Its pretty crazy to think they eat ducks.I really want to try the 3D suicide duck.I'm just afraid its going to get smashed and ill never want to throw any other lure again.

Much like the Sunfish from Live Target, this duck bait looks like something I could throw until I need a new shoulder without a single bite. I'm dubious to say the least.

I've seen a 16 inch bass "try" to eat a 9 inch trout. The bass tried to swallow the trout head first. He swam away with the tail of the trout sticking out of his mouth.

Seems to me this fella took a pet duck and tossed him in a pond and turned on his camera.....
