I had my son and his friend in a canoe with me when I noticed a little mouse swimming toward us. As he got close to the canoe it was obvious that he would have to travel some of the length of the canoe in order to continue on to shore.

I was looking down on the mouse wondering if he was going to choose the short or long way around when something big came into focus below him. Before I could utter "holy %%%%" the object below became apparent as a 5-6# largemouth bass and zoomed up to swallow the mouse.

It was like watching Wild Kingdom! Well, at least for me it was. For the mouse it was more like "Jonah and the Whale".

The boys saw just enough of it to go searching for mouse lures on our next tackle shopping mission.
