Nope! This past Spring I found 2 water cormorants dead with big gizzard Shad stuck in their throat. Seen a few dead ones that were almost 14 inches long too.

 Great reference photos for anyone who wants to paint a lifelike Gizzard Shad. Great wounded shad colors

It does look like something significantly bigger took a swipe at it.
Maybe that's why it jumped in my kayak--it was trying to get away from a big 'ole bass.
Good survival technique on the shad's part, I released it unharmed.
