Big Bass??...who wants that??
...no seriously, it's amazing to watch.. if you ever get the chance. The Bass circle the scup waiting for the right moment to slap it. Then
BANG@!!, they whack em with their tail....if that isn't enough, they smack em' again...as soon as that scup is the least bit stunned, the Bass will then
try to inhale him face first. If the scup recovers, the smacking commences...until it's safe to inhale. I couldn't figure out how a bass could be fast enough to slap a scup. After all, a scup can swim pretty fast, but when I witnessed it for the first time, it all made sense. The scup had gotten chased to the surface...the Bass kept circling him, just below. Then the bass would appear to turn downward, but in reality it would just be turning its body...appearing to head down toward the depths when the tail would suddenly thrash the surface with extreme force....smacking the scup. It happens in a fraction of a second. The whole time the scup thought the bass was departing, but the bass was actually positioning itself to strike. It really is amazing. ...and Macojoe, a keeper size bass can inhale a 9" scup much more easily than you'd think
...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
