About ten years ago I was fishing with my friends dad on one of the many phosphate pits in central FL. It was getting close to lunch time so we pulled away from the bank and dropped anchor. Just about the time we got the PB&J out the depth finder went crazy. It looked like a school of gator's was under the boat. My friend put down the sandwich and picked up his rod. I refused to unhand my PB&J until I saw him bring about 8 pounds of bass in the boat. Then I picked up my rod and,no lie. I caught a 4 inch bass on a 8 inch worm. He then landed another 6 or 8 pounder. I was gettin' nervous. BAM my turn. I got me one about 6 or 7 pounds. We stayed in that spot for another hour and caught nothing under 6 pounds. When they stopped bitting the boat was a wreck, worms everywhere. I lost my sandwich and broke one of my rods but I dont think I will ever forget that and still have a hard time convincing people that its a true story.....thats why we keep going back.

Hey Kirk, I throw all the bass I catch back. And your right 8 pounders are about average for Florida. Just not that many in a row.

I tell you Kirk, I've only had good luck with topwater (buzzbait) at dawn and dusk. But when they bite, they try to kill it. Maybe one day i'll post my topwater worm bass I caught.
