A one pound bass, or even some considerably smaller, can eat the fattest of 9" shiners...The bass will just swim with a tail out it's mouth for an hour or 2 till the LMB's pharyngeal teeth grind he shiner up...if a LMB can get something all into it's mouth, it will and can eat it.

Bill Cody and I stuffed a 9" YP into a 10" LMB...only the YP tail was visible....it was a bit sadistic, but was "research"....
