A few years ago I was on a week long fishing trip with a few friends at Rice Lake in Canada. One evening after dinner I grabbed my gear to see if I could catch something lurking beneath the docks. After a few casts using wax worms I caught a 4 inch yellow perch. It was lightly hooked on the lip so I tried flipping it off the hook by casting it next to the dock. On the very first cast the water erupted as soon as the perch hit the surface. I had managed to catch a 3 lb. smallmouth bass with that perch. The bass swallowed the perch whole all the way down into its belly. I just pulled the perch out slowly as to not have the hook catch onto the bass. Both fish were still alive when I released them back into the lake. I'll bet that perch had a story of its own to tell!
