Sometimes i see a new lure come out and i think, why would a bass even think about eating that. One of them is a mouse, mice arent exactly water creatures, but i caught a bass the other day that had a mouse in his throat.....might have to try that lure now.
You're 100% correct, they're garbage cans that eat anything and everything just like goats.
I totally forgot that I even owned a mouse lure that my father gave me when I was kid.
I guess they eat mice that either fall into the water or are running on the lilly pads. Any way you have a really nice fish count for the season.
