Anthony---a bass will eat anything smaller than itself. Baby 'togs used to be a sharpie bait on LI before there were size limits. You know what else bass love? Flatties, both flounder and fluke. Now that there are size limits on them, as well as scup----another bass delicacy---they are no longer used by ethical fishermen. But, a guy out here (who holds the 16# line class record for bass, BTW) makes a lure called the "Petri-fish" which mimics a flounder.
When bass are cruising the bars and cuts scavenging for a meal, there is very little they won't eat, as long as it's fresh and not rancid. Doesn't get any fresher than alive
