Bill and Carla Randecker were fishing at Lake Galena on May 6 when they saw a large fish come up and splash near their boat. Before long, they saw what looked to be an injured fish floating on the water. Upon investigation, they found 16.5-inch bass trying to eat a ring perch 14 inches long. Carla noted, “I believe this bass bit off more than he could chew, so to speak.” The Randeckers freed them from each other, took their measurements and released them. Both survived and swam away. Carla adds, “This bass was the only fish hungry that day. Our cooler went home empty. No matter, we had this memory to last us forever.”
