A friend and I were fishing a pond near Springfield and a 6+ pound largemouth took a grown red-winged black bird off a willow twig that was about 6 inches above the water. It didn't come back up either. We also were at another pond and there were some bank runners (about 8-10 inch bass) that were leaping out of the water onto this sloped rock catching small dragon flies/ mayflies or something...and then flopping back into the water. We saw this at least a dozen times while we were there.
