Raven: I don't think bass can "scan" a baitfish with their lateral line. To do that they would need an "active" type of sonar and send a "ping" or a "click" thru the fish. As I understand it, the lat. line is a passive set of nerve endings that can pick up vibrations in the water, not ping. That said, it is sensitive as I know that "blinded" fish have been able to track down prey using it.
