Bass are picky eaters. Generally won't resort to cannibalism unless times are tough. I'll take those baby bass lures off your hands.

Thank you for the sarcastic yet funny quote. I’m 17 from Kansas lookin at new lures for the season, and after seeing a HUGE A&@ swim-bait that’s supposed to resemble a striped bass I wondered if the big bass in my pond swing that way… your response I simply won’t forget.

Bass eat anything that fits in their mouth, and sometimes try to eat things that don't fit in their mouth, so yeah.

Most game fish are cannibalistic. Big pike help keep small pike in check which is why it is very detrimental to the ecosystem if you harvest larger pike.

After today I'm not sure if bass eat

I guess bass will eat anything that moves... otherwise they should take a closer look at a spinnerbait... why would they eat that????

Animals don't use mirrors.  Seems most animals would have a hard time gaging relative size of another.

There was the pond I use to fish some years ago, well, one day there's a Mama duck swimming along, with 4 little ducklings in tow, they get to almost the middle of this pond, which by the way is in a city park, next thing I see is a big ole swirl, and then there was 3 little ducklings. As has been said, bass will eat just about anything that looks  good to them.
