i was out for a sunrise session the other day, and i've never seen a display of a feeding frenzy like i did that morning. as close as 6' off the dock i was on, and 180 degree view of good size bass breaching the surface. i got 2 smallmouth on consecutive casts. the second was a gut hook, and by the time i got him free the frenzy was over.
