In the last photo, I tossed in a worm for the pike, but the bass nabbed it and you can see him and a bit of the one eyed crappie and the pike if you look very hard.

Oh yeah, the pike is 13 inches excluding the tail, the LMB is about 10 inches, the two bullheads are about 6 inches apiece, and the crappie is about 10 inches.

They really are quite sneaky. But man now that I have my bass in an outdoor pond it is so much fun to watch. He is always at the top and makes some ridiculous top water strikes. Its so sweet.LMB are little bastards, aren't they? . Their relatives the smallmouths are extreme fish, though. They make the most crazy, aggressive, colorful African cichlid look like a fancy goldfish. My cousins had a 5 inch SMB in a 55 gallon. He killed all comers, ripping them many new bodily orfices. He attacked anything with the crazed ferocity of a rabid dog. That little jerk finally got eaten by my cousins when he was about a foot long.

Mine does the 'bass yawn', streches a little, then rushes from the cover to surface as I drop in anything that might be food.
Micropterus Bass are cool, but unless you got a big tank you never can have them permanatly, which sucks (Opt instead for the green sunfish or warmouth or any of the other sunfish. They are like pygmy bass). I was thinking today if a bass would chase a ping pong ball around on the surface like my now deceased oscars and other cichlids would. I dropped it in and watched as he dashed forward, stopped, sat there staring at it for a good minute, then swam away . I've noticed my 'wild' fish are way more suspicous of new stuff than my tank-bred fish, because if it is something new, it could kill you is their motto in the wild. Most of my oscars used to go forward and investigate up close into anything that interested them (Food, fingers, floating stuff, plants I thought were 'tough enough for a cichlid tank' No plant exsists, my friends!). The LMB observes at a distance, makes a desicion, then decides to fight or flight.
