Life feeds on life.

I used to have a top water lure that was a rubber mouse with a treble hook sticking out its backside. Mice do swim across water and make a bass target. I saw a bass go vertical out of the water and take a sparrow off a branch a couple feet above.

One particular mess of bull frogs I brought in to my mom and aunt to clean all had really full guts so they opened them up to see what they were eating so much of and it was little snakes about a foot long. They were all stuffed on snakes.

Frogs make pretty good bass bait. I suppose ducklings would too but I am too tenderhearted.
