I've had bass attack fish when I was reeling them in. In all but one case, the hook wasn't big enough to hook both fish and I ended up just pulling the small fish out of the bass's mouth.

In fact, the biggest bass I ever saw in New Jersey (probably like six pounds) attacked a big sunfish I was reeling in. It grabbed the sunfish and held it in its mouth with just the tail hanging out. It looked like a St. Bernard mouthing a chew toy. I counted to ten and set the hook hard. The bass felt like it was hooked and started to fight, but then the sunfish popped out of the bass's mouth and the bass swam away.
