Bass eat anything if it fits.

[Ski]

If it fits it ships.

I always try to take a look before I thumb it. 

[BluegillsTightlines]

Is that a dang chicken in its gullet?

[Scott F]

So you think this bass thought that this lure would fit? 
 

[scaleface]

I wonder what bird that is? Some kind of wading shore bird?

[ironbjorn]

If bass could grow as big as some catfish or even as large as sharks, nobody could ever be around fresh water where they exist. They are truly apex predators.

[Fishing_Rod]

Golly! That is quite the sight to see. THXs for sharing that. Wow!

[GaryH]

Thanks for sharing Ski. Reminds me of my grandson. If 

it doesn’t move he eats it, if it does he kicks it.

The talons tell me that's some sort of predatory bird...... quite an aggressive bass. 

Check out this aggressive bluegill I caught this morning.

Just hanging on to the tail of keitech trailer, not even close to the hook.

They eat things that don't fit sometimes to their own demise, many of folks have seen a lunker floating with a monster Bluegill choked down its throat.  

 

If you scaled up Black Bass 10x, nobody would go swimming in lakes 😁

That happened to me the other day on 2 different occasions with baby bass

Wow @Ski 

thanks

Maybe a green heron? They prowl right along the bank in shallow water.

This is what I thought of, but I didn't know the name of it.  I can see a young one going down to the water's edge after a sunfish, and a big bass going after it.

Green heron was the first thing I thought of too.  They'd be a big meal, but they're not huge, and they hang out right down there at the waters edge.  I can easily imagine an enterprising big bass taking a shot.

And it hit a lure wanting to stuff something else down it's gullet?

Actually it's probably a floater. I can't imagine that beak went down too well.

[SC53]

Yep, probably a green heron.

Here in Florida springtime, they eat a lot of baby birds, coots especially.

I always throw a black topwater that time of year.
