    Great replies and so relevant to what I've experienced. Reminds me of when I would return from fishing with fish in the livewell a few years ago. Bass would line up same way waiting for small panfish to be thrown to them after they saw the truck and boat pulled parallel to shore. Had to be over 9 bass competing for a perch and sunfish meal.

    Note: gills steal food from the three turtles and even grab bread right from their mouths if it's sticking out. For the turtles to get some I have to thrown bits of bread on top of shallow surface algae, never in open water. Those fish are like colliding rockets once they hear a splash - even in 1" of water! (Never knew they could swim sideways for food.)

    I used to stock a small pond behind some apartments back when , put my left over shiners in it ,some sunfish and some bass , there were bullheads already in it too , they would all lose their minds when I showed up with a slice of whitebread .
    the water would just boil with fish within a second or so of the bread hitting the water .
    white bread was my go to bait when i carp ketched as a kid , chummed in with corn and a doughy ball of white bread on a single hook no sinker , just deadly and fun as heck too
    it is very similar to why in the heck are the fish losing their minds on whole kernel corn , some used to say it resembled fish eggs , but i never bought that excuse , it is more likely the sugar content in the bread and corn and the scent it leaves in the water
