Way to small on your tank. As far as bass eating mice. I have caught as many bass on a rat lure as I have any other.. Big bass hit the rat. I have a 9 lb 10 oz. mounted to prove it..
A mouse is way more nutritious than any other live food you can get at a store. Except for the tank I'd bet that bass is a pretty happy camper with all the feeder mice he can eat. I've seen bass in the wild eat squirrels, rats, chipmunks, alligators, if it moves it's food.
Whoo! that was way cool and weird at the same time! this was my 1st time seeing a bass...we never have those in here.
i seriously doubt that wild LMB get mammalian prey items more than a couple times a year in the wild, in our tanks their diets tend to be limited to just a couple food items at best so there is no good reason to feed mice frequently(more than a couple times a year) in our tanks. yes there are mouse shaped lures, so what, i could make a lure shaped like pres. bush and catch bass on it, and although i know we wish we could feed him to a bass, it wouldn't mean anything, bass will hit just about anything. just like bullfrogs will eat everything, including mice and other frogs but a diet of frogs would be very unhealthy. btw, i have seen multiple videos of bass eating rodents in the wild, off the top of my head i can recall one of some guys throwing a squirrel in and another of a chipmunk being thrown in.
