Someday I'll figure out how to post the video of my best day fishing.

My dental partner and I left Lincoln at 1:30 a.m. and arrived at Webster Reservoir in Stockton, KS at 4:45. I discovered that there was a topwater bite and proceeded to catch 30 HSB on topwater lures that all were between 10 and 15 pounds.I had a patient at 1 p.m., so I jumped back in the vehicle at 9:45 a.m. I also caught various smaller HSB. I'm pretty sure that I never had a cast without a fish. The HSB were all around us, so if you lost one another one would hit. I guess I should mention we were in our waders. I ended up breaking a rod and two reels. The Kansas Dept. of Wildlife happenned to be present and videotaped the entire thing.

FWIW, I had one nice bite mid-morning, set the hook hard and literally (and I mean LITERALLY) skimmed a 4 pound largemouth across the surface all the way in. It was like catching a crappie. We videotaped that as well.


Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
