2nd shot's a little blurry, they were tusslin on the surface when I found them and I was trying to get them back in some water, I think the bass might make it although the BG was DOA .
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
I wish I had the picture, but I saw a chain of 15 WE fry trying to eat each other. A fish farm in PA was trying to raise WE in an RAS and he emailed it to me. The puter it was on died a few years ago when it got flooded with water. The pic was really neat. Talk about instinct, and how difficult it is to feed train WE. Why can't they just cooperate
Yeah it's pretty cut throat around here apparently.
Today I pulled the boat out for a quick tour and found this guy contently sitting next to a leopard frog underneath the boat. When I returned from the boat ride I found this instead.
I have some single species fla lmb ponds. That is the world they live in. I catch 5 and 6 lbers after hooking 5-6 inchers. Weirdest I ever saw, sadly no camera that day were two lmb locked in a death grip. I looked down in a canal that used to supply water to a nuclear power plant emergency cooling pond. I thought I saw some gigantic dead fish. But on closer inspection it was a 3 lb lmb stuck in the mouth of a 5 lb lmb. I would have to guess they were chasing the same prey or it was hanging out of the smaller fishes mouth.
When I used to clean bullfrogs when I was a kid I'd always pump that stomach to see the contents. Mostly, little bullfrogs and polliwogs. But once a live tree frog, I saved it and fed it to a pet garter snake, baby turtle, crawdads, bird, bluegill, mouse, rocks, tarantula, assorted insects, dragonflies, and a newt.
