Fish with big meals will struggle on the surface,sometimes they die,but sometimes they get it down ,eventually.I hope people believe me now when I tell them I've caught big largemouth using one pound peacockbass as bait,or half pound tilapia.I once found a dead catfish,he had about a 2lb spotted tilapia stuck in its mouth,also seen big bass struggling on the surface trying to swallow a big fish,as we got near he would swim off though,sometimes you should let nature run its course,but if he really looked to be struggling ,or dying like you said I may of done the same thing,good job,Paulpro,You should of gave him a smaller baitfish before you let him go,cause I'm sure he went hungry that night.
,man if he keeps eating the way he is,he's gonna grow up in no time.O' I once had a half pound baitfish on the bottom of the lake towards the middle,and to my surprize something ran with it,long story short it got away,
