I beleive bass take eels whenever given the chance. I have had very few subtle takes on eels, more often then not the hits are vicious. Is it possible bass see so few eels in nature that they pounce on them like myself on a Guinness?
When I see eels they are in back bays, real short water that is quite warm. Water too warm for bass to tolerate.
You very very seldom see an eel in a bass's gut either. I say they just do not get too many chances at an eel, but when they do, they take em reguardless of whats around for bait.
Maybe its a maternal thing, and the bass is programmed to take out a predator of its fry. In freshwater largemouth bass will smash a lizard when they will not touch a live bait because lizards feed on eggs and fry of the bass. Just my humble opinion....

kill em all, let god sort em out!
