odd things in bass mouths 2025

noursnagged reply :

last week while fishing i caught a bass with a mouse tale sticking out of his gullet... just wondering what are some interesting things people have found in bass mouths... note: bass was fine and released

Tin reply :

I had one spit a mouse up in my livewell once. Must have been running around on a retaining wall or dock and went for a swim. That thing was nasty to get out.

Have also had fish spit up golf balls (when guys use them to mark beds you see it commonly), pickerel, trout (both were around 7 inches), frogs, rocks, twigs, and lots of soft plastics.

HuntFishAK reply :

A while back, a buddy and I were fishing Lake Roosevelt for smallmouth. We were slaying them on the dropshot. After fishing this slough, we left for a while to try some other spots. We returned to the slough later, but didn't get anything. We moved out to a rock island about 200 yds off shore from the mouth of the slough. I land a fish and while unhooking, I noticed one of the worms that we had been using earlier in it's mouth. We hadn't lost a worm in that slough in 6 hours.

SmokeRise1 reply :

tail feathers of a bird she was in the process of swallowing.

Hook Set reply :

With the luck I've had lately, It would be very odd to see my hook in ones mouth!

I have actually caught a bass that had my Texas rigged worm stuck in it's mouth, that I had broken off 30 minutes earlier.

roadwarrior reply :

Not really odd, but catching smallmouth on a

minnow and finding giant claws sticking

up, out of the gullet is striking. Talk about greedy!

These fish are completely stuffed, but can't resist

another easy prey.

Bass XL reply :

At the Central Divisional, we had a bass spit up a baby turtle during weigh-in...the dang thing was still alive after all that time the livewell and in the belly of that bass.

steezy reply :

I caught a LMB with a live crawdad in its mouth, it was trying to pinch me while I was trying to remove the lure.

riverfisher reply :

I had a LMB spit up 2 baby ducks in my livewell.

Dan: reply :

One of my fishing partners told me he found baby turtles in a bass once. Personally, I've only seen baitfish tails and crawfish claws.

Sucks you lost a few ounces!

KYntucky Warmouth reply :

Don't know how true it is but heard a guy say he caught a bass that spit up a live cottonmouth on the deck of his boat.

Flameseeker reply :

Caught this bass with a crankbait and there was a live turtle and a crawdad still in her mouth. I let the turtle go but the crawdad became her meal.

Here's a thread from another forum with some cool stuff found in bass mouths.

NC FISHMASTER reply :

Wow guys...these are crazy stories! The craziest thing I've found was one bass that had two different hooks (other than mine) that were hooked in its mouth. One was a weighted crappy jig hook, the other a 3/0 wide gap....talk about a fish that either was dumb or loved body piercings! ;D

EastTexasBassin reply :

I caught a bass a few weeks ago with a rat's tail coming out of her mouth. It was a pretty big tail, and the bass' stomach was huge. I couldn't believe she hit my lure, cuz she looked like she was about to explode.

Long Mike reply :

I'm not trying to brag about the size of the bass I caught, but it spit up a '56 Volkswagon.

EastTexasBassin reply :

What an amazing coincidence! I caught a bass that spit out a bass that spit out a '56 Volkswagon.

tholmes reply :

Not a LMB, but I caught a striper on a topwater popper that had a bat in it's mouth. How a bat ended up in the lake is anybody's guess.

I wonder if that tickled the bass?

Rebel Angler reply :

Didn't happen to me, but my grandpa told me a few years ago he caught a 6lbs'er an it had a small squirrel in it!

b.Lee reply :

I bet that squirrel gave a good fight

ABLE2DISABLE1 reply :

:-? scary

b.Lee reply :

i saw that picture somewhere, it is weird because what if it was a cottonmouth or something and it snapped at you when you lipped it.

i think that when youre being digested form the neck down, the last thing youre gonna do is try and eat something or bite someone in self defense

Hornytoad 10 reply :

the other day i caught one that had on old pop-r stuck in its gills, i wish i could have cut it out for her.(she swam off fine)

Chris reply :

Full size crappie tail waving at me. Didn't catch it but saw about a 2 lb bass struggling in a big bass's mouth all I saw was white belly wiggling as it disappeared into the depths.

avid reply :

this is what it looked like
