noursnagged Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 last week while fishing i caught a bass with a mouse tale sticking out of his gullet... just wondering what are some interesting things people have found in bass mouths... note: bass was fine and released Quote
Super User Tin Posted November 6, 2009 Super User Posted November 6, 2009 I had one spit a mouse up in my livewell once. Must have been running around on a retaining wall or dock and went for a swim. That thing was nasty to get out. Have also had fish spit up golf balls (when guys use them to mark beds you see it commonly), pickerel, trout (both were around 7 inches), frogs, rocks, twigs, and lots of soft plastics. Quote
HuntFishAK Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 A while back, a buddy and I were fishing Lake Roosevelt for smallmouth. We were slaying them on the dropshot. After fishing this slough, we left for a while to try some other spots. We returned to the slough later, but didn't get anything. We moved out to a rock island about 200 yds off shore from the mouth of the slough. I land a fish and while unhooking, I noticed one of the worms that we had been using earlier in it's mouth. We hadn't lost a worm in that slough in 6 hours. Quote
SmokeRise1 Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 tail feathers of a bird she was in the process of swallowing. Quote
Hook Set Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 With the luck I've had lately, It would be very odd to see my hook in ones mouth! I have actually caught a bass that had my Texas rigged worm stuck in it's mouth, that I had broken off 30 minutes earlier. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 6, 2009 Super User Posted November 6, 2009 Not really odd, but catching smallmouth on a minnow and finding giant claws sticking up, out of the gullet is striking. Talk about greedy! These fish are completely stuffed, but can't resist another easy prey. 8-) Quote
Bass XL Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 At the Central Divisional, we had a bass spit up a baby turtle during weigh-in...the dang thing was still alive after all that time the livewell and in the belly of that bass. Quote
steezy Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I caught a LMB with a live crawdad in its mouth, it was trying to pinch me while I was trying to remove the lure. Quote
riverfisher Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I had a LMB spit up 2 baby ducks in my livewell. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 6, 2009 Super User Posted November 6, 2009 One of my fishing partners told me he found baby turtles in a bass once. Personally, I've only seen baitfish tails and crawfish claws. Quote

Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted November 7, 2009 Super User Posted November 7, 2009 Don't know how true it is but heard a guy say he caught a bass that spit up a live cottonmouth on the deck of his boat. Quote
Flameseeker Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Caught this bass with a crankbait and there was a live turtle and a crawdad still in her mouth. I let the turtle go but the crawdad became her meal. Quote
Danny1991 Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Here's a thread from another forum with some cool stuff found in bass mouths. http://forum.gon.com/showthread.php?t=410942 Quote
NC FISHMASTER Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Wow guys...these are crazy stories! The craziest thing I've found was one bass that had two different hooks (other than mine) that were hooked in its mouth. One was a weighted crappy jig hook, the other a 3/0 wide gap....talk about a fish that either was dumb or loved body piercings! ;D Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 I caught a bass a few weeks ago with a rat's tail coming out of her mouth. It was a pretty big tail, and the bass' stomach was huge. I couldn't believe she hit my lure, cuz she looked like she was about to explode. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted November 8, 2009 Super User Posted November 8, 2009 I'm not trying to brag about the size of the bass I caught, but it spit up a '56 Volkswagon. Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 What an amazing coincidence! I caught a bass that spit out a bass that spit out a '56 Volkswagon. Quote
tholmes Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Not a LMB, but I caught a striper on a topwater popper that had a bat in it's mouth. How a bat ended up in the lake is anybody's guess. Tom Quote
Five-Alive Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 kind of along the same line ..... I caught a bass with a plastic worm coming out of his hind parts!! Quote

avid Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I think seeing a snake curling out of the mouth of a 3 lber is my wierdest view Quote
Gangley Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Quote I think seeing a snake curling out of the mouth of a 3 lber is my wierdest view I wonder if that tickled the bass? Quote
Rebel Angler Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Didn't happen to me, but my grandpa told me a few years ago he caught a 6lbs'er an it had a small squirrel in it! Quote
