A little late to this discussion, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents. Remember when I fished the Berry a week or two ago? I was there the day before and kept one slot buster for dinner. I was amazed at the contents of his belly, and decided to take some pictures in order to match what they were eating the next time I sat down to tie. Anyhow, here are a few: (keep in mind, this all came out of ONE fish, who was full to the brim.)

This guy was still alive and kicking inside the fish, six hours after the fish was caught.

Please disregard my nasty nail-biting habit. I quit smoking, drinking, coffee and pot cold turkey all at once, but for the life of me, can't stop biting my nails.
Here is that same bug in water: (nearly two weeks later, he is still alive in the glass near my kitchen sink - I drop an occasional morsel of food in there and he attacks it. Kind of cool, actually)

Here are the "other" contents of the stomach: Lot's of potato bug looking guys (anyone tell me what they are?), itty bitty clear gobs (again, no idea?), and a crap-ton of crawdad.
