I honestly think it takes a REALLY hungry bass to go after a duckling, then size comes into effect. I know it happens just think it is pretty rare. I have been setting a trap in a really small pond that loaded with stunted BG. Catching about 30-50 a day and my bass sit there like dogs when I feed them to them. The CC always come looking but hey are never fast enough to beat the big guys to the punch. Ducklings would be much easier feed smile
