Yes all fish are not the same - they adapt or die. Some will be better at catching many small prey and others will eat fewer but bigger meals and still others will do some of both.
Eric, I remember one of the plump LMB from the electrosurvey had a tiny, maybe 1 to 1.5 inch fish in the back of its throat. Could be simple random event, but we saw hundreds & hundreds of similar size YOY (too small to identify) shocked up from many weedbeds.
Perhaps some LMB learned to take advantage of superabundant prey, even though tiny, at least for while the abundance lasted.
Wonder if this is why minuscule lures sometimes catch giant bass? Most of my 9 lb plus LMB came on a 4 inch jigworm.
