what a blast!

one day last week i went to a local public lake that has just pretty well killed me over the years. i have caught some good fish out of it before but never good numbers. anyways i launched my boat at about 8:00 and by 9:30 i was culling! i found a channel that was just full of shad ( i figured to be dying off with the cooler weather ) and the bass were stacked up in there big time. i must have caught 30 bass in 3 hours, and had a five fish bag that weighed somewhere around 16 lbs. including a 5 lb. kicker. they were all released alive at the end of the day. i have never had this kind of success on this lake ever. i know that 30 bass in 3 hours and only 16 lbs may not sound too great to some of you but this lake has heavy pressure on it and a keeper is hard to come by and i must of had 10 or 15 keepers. plus i lost a good one at the boat that would have been around 6 lbs or so. it was so much fun!
