Gator -- I clearly remember a similar story when I was a kid. My dad and I were fishing a North Dakota lake that had both trout and bass. He was using his fly rod with a mosquito dry fly. He caught a 3-lb largemouth bass that had a live crayfish in its mouth. That made quite an impression on a 10 year old kid. What in the world made that bass come up and take that little fly.
