Ya I mean you can get them on a sabiki rig which imitate very small fish but they just don't have the hardware to eat something the size of a swimbait, maybe ...more that one was confused
idk the fish world is a mystery we may never know, another example is sockeye salmon they are known to hit lures even tho they are filter feeders @seaturtles
@seaturtles now you hurt my feelings...just kidding yea its possible the lure was swimming by and got em in the mouth. but read @Ghost0921 comment about how aggressive ...more they are
Honestly it was probably just luck that you snagged him in the mouth. They don't have teeth or a wide enough throat to eat another fish. They have fill rakers ...more designed for getting algae and plankton
It is a menhaden (also called bunker, pogies, ect.) it's probably not on the list because they don't usually take lures. I catch all my menhaden with a snag ...more rig or cast net
