Default Do people really catch 10+ fish all the time?

Do people really catch 10+ fish all the time?
NO!

I have only had a couple ten plus days in the last year out of several dozen
trips out on the water.

I think I am doing pretty good lately, with finishes in the money in 4 out
of my last six tournaments. When you consider that I didn't weigh in a
limit in any of them, and in two of those I didn't boat a fish I figure
thats pretty good.

On the occassions when I hit a really hot bite and boated a bunch of bass
they were smaller fish. My cousin and I hit a really good topwater bite in
the back of a lake back in June. We caught over 20 fish (maybe as many as
30) in about 20 minutes. We missed a lot more. Sometimes we would get two
or three hits on a single retrieve. I think between us we caught 4 or 5
keepers that day, but we had a blast.

My next good bite like that was in another side water. I was fishing by
myself and found a topwater bite going on mid morning. I caught several
largemouth a couple smallmouth and a couple striper all chasing minnows in a
lake off the river. First bite to last bite was about fifteen minutes.

I don't even want to count the days I blanked or was relieved after 8 hours
of fishing to catch one small keeper.
