Mark,
I do not think that normal fish (as opposed to abnormal, ha, ha) sense deep bass or "sound" as we know it. Aquatic mammals (dophin, whales, porpoises, seals) do sense vibration, even at great distances underwater.
Anecdotally, I can report that when I was a kid, I used to wear a mask and snorkel and watch as my Dad fished for smallmouth bass. He would clunk around in the boat (wood), making various thumps that I'd hear underwater, but the bass seemed unaffected by the bass sounds from the boat. They would go for the lure, oblivious to the sounds. Passing motorboats also didn't scare them. I could hear them coming--a high-pitched whining, from the outboard gearbox underwater.
So, does bass affect bass? Nope, not in my experience. But maybe you should consult a bass specialist.
Regards,
