Thanks Bloo!
I'm glad you enjoyed the flicks.
The shot of the angler's lure and a fish going after it requires far too much time and effort, even with live bait, plus the fact that a diver tends to put the fish on guard and off the feeding mode -- it all adds up to that "million dollar shot".
I'll try to go for it again next season with the help of Gary Corsetti and a cast of live herring "extras"!
I do have footage of tiny bass assaulting live herring, but the water is murky and you can barely make out the way they smack the "bass candy." It does reveal that the small stripers hit the tails first and then hit the head after!!! That's why you often feel your live bait going, tap, tap, tap, tap. It seems as though they're trying to cripple what represents more than just a tiny mouthful of food with a dibilitating rear attack. Then the traditional head-down-first gulp.
Think herring!
