Yes

Have personally seen it happen a number of times over the years.

Red-knobbed Coot (Bleshoender) chicks taken by large mouth bass of +- 3kg in the Escort Area.

Where weaver nests overhang the water is always a good spot to try your luck with a buzzbait or other topwater. Often large bass will lie in wait for any chicks falling out a nest.

Yep, I've seen it as well. There is also a good underwater photo in an old Larousse Animal Encyclopedia showing a largemouth eyeballing a baby duckling rather menacingly.

Two year agou at a PVT dam in Witbank I Saw a bass take a swallow in mid flight while it was skimming the water( drinking water maby). Talk about fast food.
