Well, I was hoping someone would ask.
Southern Wisconsin lake, June..about mid-morning and rainy/misty. A light wind was blowing, keeping the top ruffled up. After trying spinnerbaits; plastics; spoons; plugs; etc. I went to a top-water. I was throwing a frog-colored small PoP-R. NO hits at all, when I dragged; popped; and slurped it, slowly, across the surface. For some unknown reason, I started working it, across that same water, as fast as I could. It looked like a very scared baitfish trying to get away from something! TEN Largemouth bass hit over the next hour or so. The explosions from underneath looked like bombs dropping from the sky. Three got away. The remaining 7 ranged from one lb to 3/ 4/ 4.5/ 5/ 5.5 and a 6. They all pulled me around the boat and were netted; admired; and released. No camera in the boat... but the pictures in my mind are indelible. I never had a day like that before, and probably will never have a day like it again. I fished the same spot a dozen times later in the year. Occasionally caught a 3 or a 4lbr...but NOTHING like that one special day.
