    One of EIGHT! They were on some sort of absolutely insane feeding friendzy! This entire area of the lake was filled all over with boils, splashes, baitfish going ...more nuts. I caught 2 on a lipless, 2 on a squarebill, and 4 on an aglia long. Never caught any fish on the lipless, or squarebill till that day, and never caught a hybrid bass either! Insanity! Biggest one that I weighed was 6lb 7oz!
