Have you ever seen this?

It very well could have been a bass. My wife and I were fishing an old strip pit that also served as a swimming hole. It had been closed off to the public for years, but her dad knew the folks that owned it.

Anyway, we were fishing the shallow area... the swimming part, as we could not make it through the growth to any other areas. Down about 50 yards a small wood duck was swimming across the lake. Wooooosh.. and swirl, and the duck was gone. It never came back up. We were catching a ton of bass in the 13-15 inch range. I don't know if it was a big old catfish that got the duck or a monster bass. However, we convinced ourselves it was a bass so we would always believe we would catch that monster someday. Then the land was sold again, and to my knowledge, no one has entry there anymore. What a shame.


Tight lines and God Bless

A big flathead loves little ducks. Seen it happen before. :D

I agree on the catfish or bass as the most likely culprit.
