Caught Something at the Sportsmans Show

[islandbass]

Just thought I’d share this with you. I stepped into fishing seminar already in progress at a sportsmans show and one of the fish in the tank caught my immediate attention. At first I thought I was seeing things so I walked up to the tank for a closer look.

I wasn’t seeing things. One of the bass in the tank had something sticking out of its mouth. It was the tail of a fish it chowed down. From the looks of the tail, I believe it was a rainbow trout.







Right after I took a few shots with my camera people took notice and broke out their camera phones!!! Sorry that the pictures weren’t better.

Looks to be a decent size trout for the bass, shows how aggressive bass can be. Thanks for sharing.

the story on this is a kid was carrying his trout that he caught from the kid's pond and it fell out of the bag. A woman picked up the fish and "panicked" and threw it into the bass tank, at which time Mr. Bass had himself a Show Special. I have no idea if that's true, but what a story. And pretty traumatic for the kid - or maybe he thought it was cool, who knows.

Nice photos - thanks for sharing. I guess that's why so many of us love those ol lily pad lunkers.

Yes it is true. A friend of mine had his kid throw her catch in the tank and the bass immediately inhaled it.
