Re: Who wants to use this live bait to catch a giant bass?
[QUOTE=zx150;490674]I have a buddy that worked in Okeechobee lake as a biologist and would often do fishing samplings. He cut open a big fat LM and found 4 big snakes in the belly.[/QUOTE]
Thats why im always looking for the most snake infested fishing holes i can possibly find the more snakes that are there the bigger the bass will be. And you dont have to worry about them being fished to death because most people dont being around snakes.

If that bass is 10lbs then I've caught a lot of 10 lbers. That's maybe a 5-6 lber.
Re: Who wants to use this live bait to catch a giant bass?
I once saw a snake trying to enter the water at Cumberland. Three large bass were waiting on the snake. Each time the snake tried, the bass would start to move in, then back off when the snake changed it's mind. They played cat and mouse for five minutes then the snake just gave up and moved up the bank.

I had a 3 lber puke up a 14in water snake in my livewell. Snakes don't bother me, but a rattle snake would be a little difficult to handle.
