I was fishing yesterday just before sunset at one of my local ponds that has some good-sized largemouths when I saw a duck, and adult mallard, struggling on the surface in the distance, quacking, flapping his wings, lots of splashing going on, and I caught a glimpse of what looked like a large fish's white underbelly a few times.
It went on for about a minute, and eventually the duck prevailed and took off.
I know bass eat ducklings, but a full-sized adult?
Maybe it was a snapping turtle? Didn't look like one though. Or a big pickerel?
Anyone ever seen this before?
