Smallmouth bass & feed - 10/09/03 04:18 PM
I was feeding my bluegills this morning and I noticed one of the SMB that I stocked last summer was eating the food pellets. At first I thought that he was eating some kind of insect from the surface of the water. But I watched closely and he was actually feeding on the Game Fish Chow. I had never seen any of my bass eating fish feed before and this really surprised me.
The SMB that I stocked were all caught locally and stocked in the pond. None of them could have been exposed to fish food before being stocked in my pond. He was about 14" long. Just wondered how often it occurs that an adult bass learns to feed on fish food. Anyone else ever seen this happen?
