Those that time to time have caught a bass with a fish already down its throat, I wonder if its nothing more than a strike motivator.

Could it be little fish was going after said bait and it triggered bigger fish to gulp little boy and bait 

But on a side note, I've noticed. I have caught more of these lately, with fish already in throat of caught bass

I have caught many bass chasing schools of shad and then you catch them and then they spit them all up

You ever eat one potato chip?

Bass will gorge if the opportunity is ripe.

Not if it's pringles I caught one yesterday that had a tiny bluegill in his mouth, she hadn't even begun swallowing it. I pulled her in and my spro bronzeye had that tiny bluegill pinned to her gullet. Some gluttonous creatures.

Always heard, we'd be in trouble if bass could get to #100's
