Do bass really eat lizards?

Bass are opportunists and will eat anything! I suspect lizards represent something less than .001% of their diet, but the profile is the same as a newt. In some waters, this is a basic food source. Otherwise, I think lizards are just another profile in the long list of "plastics".

Thats a really neat picture.  The lizard oddly looks comfortable.

I wish that was the geico gecko  ;D

During the spawn bass do not eat. Lizards work tremendously as a bait during this season because real life salamanders and lizards raid the nests and eat the bass eggs. If you pitch an artificial lizard in or near a bass bed, the bass will instinctively hit it. Sometimes they will try to eat it but most of the time they are just picking it up with their mouth's to move it.

Lizard in bass fishing jargon comes rom the south where a "spring lizard" is a salamander.

Bass will eat or at least try to eat anything they consider prey.

I fish where there are real lizards (not salamanders) running around in the summer, several varieties of skinks.  My buddy caught one, put it on a hook, and caught several bass right in a row on the thing.  We spent most of the rest of the day trying to catch lizards for bait.

And that's pretty much anything that it thinks it can fit into its mouth.

Bass eat more than we know :-?

Do rednecks eat pork rinds?

Is that a spot or is the mouth just really weird?
