Epic pickerel & bass day off
Had the day off and with both warm air and warm water, the fish were super active. Fish were slashing baitfish all day. I could see the bass & pickerel clearing the water chasing them. I pocketed the buzzbait after so-so success and used a 2" surface popper. They crushed it. Many times hitting it before I could even twitch it. I even harpooned myself, sinking two hooks of a treble in my index finger. Barbs pinched down so easy removal. Trust me you SHOULD do this. Save yourself pain, blood and maybe a doctor visit. Anyhow finished with over 150 pickerel and 31 bass. Even got a few big sunnies. Below are pics of 27 of the bass. I didn't want to quit but my almost 50 year old back and tennis elbow forced me too. I need to start casting left handed soon. Only saw one boat all day(8 hrs) on a large public lake. Wish I could work weekends and fish during the week all the time.
