The CW has previously said that LMB can consume prey up to 40% to 50% of their body length; that HSB can consume prey perhaps 25% of their body length. This just did not prepare me to see them prefer prey only 1/2" long.
They must be an awesome consumer of very small sunfish.
What kind of direct or indirect evidence have you been able to observe of HSB eating larger sizes of Tilapia (say, during period leading up to the Winter die-off)?
