Dave- I was thinking the same thing. Even though it's 3+ fish per day for each bass, the conditions are as bobad described above.
I suppose in tight quarters with no cover, such feeding habits are normal. The bass also came from a pond with stunted LMB that I am slowly but surely correcting. I wonder if the LMB just went crazy with all that new-found forage--like going from an all-boys prep school to a state college.
I figured they'd eat all the GSH and FHs...just not that fast.
Another question: Now that they've literally eaten themselves out of their environment like bass so often do, how long can they sustain their growth without more food?
My dad and I certainly don't want to starve them, but it may be a week or two before we can get more forage in there. This could be a fun experiment...we'll see how it evolves.
