Editing White bass (section)

==Diet==
White bass are carnivores. They have four main taxa in their diet: [[Calanoida|calanoid copepods]], [[Cyclopoida|cyclopoid copepods]], [[daphnia]], and [[leptodora]].<ref name="web.ebscohost.com">{{cite journal|author1=W.J.

When not frightened, they will bite readily at live [[bait (luring substance)|bait]] such as [[Earthworm|worms]] and [[Leuciscinae|minnow]]s.  Only the largest fish will feed on other fish, and as the summer season progresses, there is an overall trend towards eating fewer fish.<ref name="web.ebscohost.com"/>  Fish that are able to accumulate lipids over the summer are better able to survive cold winters.  When looking at midwestern white bass, particularly in South Dakota, diet overlap occurs between the bass and the walleye.  As seasons progress through the summer and fall, the amount of diet overlap decreases as a result of both fish increasing in length.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=D.W. Willis |author2=C.P.
