Worse than stripers?

No worries, my mistake changed the entire meaning of the post.

indeed J-Doc. You are correct. 

I was thinking it was amazing how a fish could get something like that into it's gullet. But then I thought about those TX steakhouses where you can get a 72oz steak for free of you eat it in an hour. Maybe catfish have the same sort of ritual. 

Good luck getting an "I ate then whole thing in One Hour" T-shirt on a Catfish....

Flatheads will occasionally throw up everything they've eaten recently while you're fighting them. I had a little 20 pounder throw up a partially digested bass that was every bit of 4 pounds one time. Flats and big blues like the one in the video are predators and much more capable of catching live prey fish than a lot of folks give them credit for.

I guess crappie are also now a hated species by bass anglers.  This was found floating today on Beaver Lake and sent to me via messenger.

And all this time I've been investing in crappie jigs when I should have invested in big swimbaits!   (kidding)

Revenge of the bass!

Yeah but that's no surprise. Bass will eat about anything. Including baby ducks and such. But a crappie or catfish eating a poor defenseless little baby bass.....Oh the horror!!  Lol!

I shouldn't joke. I did find the photo odd.  Rare to see a crappie eating bass of that size.

You Beaver guys can add that to your list of excuses for not catching bass ... crappie ate them all, too many shad, etc.

Actually I thought of you initially since you like crappie as well as bass.  I figured this would make your head explode seeing a crappie eating a bass.

 

Oh and I catch nothing BUT bass if I'm trolling for crappie or walleye.  Seems like you catch walleye when you're bass fishing, bass when you're walleye fishing, and walleye when you're crappie fishing.  Vicious cycle...

[Champ188]

That's true. There's always a very good chance of catching walleye in the winter on Beaver on a jerk bait. Never pass up that timber bluff just east of Coppermine, especially the gravel runout polnt on the downstream end.

Yup. Like the 19" wally I caught in May on a spook in about a foot of water near the HWY 12 bridge.
