How does a largemouth bass ingest his food?

 

[oldsarge]

I guess with that large mouth he would just gulp it down?????

 

[dinosaur]

If it's really big, he takes it head first.

 

[Cappy]

All things that eat fish swallow them head first. They gotta cause of the fins. It's fun to watch pelicans dive head full into the water then sit and let the fish wiggle in their pouch till its positioned right. I have seen a crane catch a fish and then drop it a few times till they caught it right for swallowing.

 

[Cappy]

Not sure if that was the answer they looking for though since they asked big mouth bass specific though

 

[Grandpa]

Keeping my big mouth out of this one ;-)

 

[Cappy]

I guess also he kinda inhales it. i just know when he comes from a distance and the water explodes under ya fly it is thrilling.

 

[dinosaur]

Good point, Cappy. The largemouth will push water through his gills and create suction at his mouth 'inhaling' the food.

 

[Cappy]

It sure is bout the most fun ya can have with pants on having him suck ya fly down in a water exploding pounce.

 

[jason]

And the card says......... He inhales it.
