my favorite is fishing dawn.. the water is glass calm and im crawling a danny in at the slowest possible retreive with a little twitch here and a pop there. The coffee hasnt set in yet and i can hardly stay awake and then it happens. The heavens open up and the great bass god drops a 20 lb cinderblock out of the sky onto my plug and theres a cow bass in the mid 2o's shooting halfway out of the water only to crash back in. It sounds trying to remove the plug from its mouth any way it can. it takes about 20 yards on its first run, and then i slowly winch it in carefully paying attention not to pull the hooks. I beach it and slowly make love to it while a sweedish looking blond cheers me on smearing herself with bunker oil.


yeah i like topwater

I love top water..Nothing better than following the plug along the surface and see it EXPLODE....But with braid below surface especially at night is awesome

I'm going where I'm going...

Nebe, You Hedonist!!!!

Top-o-water for yah-yahs for sure! Big spook from the yak worked slowwwwwly over a submerged boulder field...... BAM!!!! Who says Bass don't jump!!!! Nothin' like a Nantucket Sleigh Ride with a 20/30 pound bass as your mule team :-)

But I love the mystery of the night as well. Those dark ones where every once in a while the hair on the back of your neck stands straight up on end for no reason, and you just have to get your a** out of there right now kind of nights.....

You're standing on a rock about a 1/2 hour before sunrise, where the sky is almost a slate blue color. Thick fog to where you can only see 15-20 feet in front of you and the water is like glass. Your working a popper back out of the fog 1/2 asleep and then BAM!!! 20 lb'er hits it and suddenly you feel like you just drank 20 cups of coffee. Your line starts to peel and is running to the left. you play your foe until he finally submits and you drag him up on the rocks.

You drag your prize back to solid land and are greeted by Jessica Alba wearing a "barely there" string bikini. She walks over to you. looks up and says in a whisper "I want you to make me feel like a woman". So I gaze deeply in her Eyes and say firmly " OK.....Go Clean this fish and make me some breakfast"

OK so I took some creative license on the 2nd paragraph but the 1st one happened, and he was released to swim another day. That was the was the coolest morning I ever had.....to me Topwater is a blast. Just watching them crash that lure is a rush

Top water for me too.

This gets me every time, Freshwater or Salt. Sitting in the kayak woking a topwater plug. Just towards the end of the retrieve I start reeling a little quicker already looking to where I'm casting next...BAAAAAAM! Right at the side. From a boat you get a startle, from a kayak you literally piss your pants.

Staying Fishing related there is absolutely no rush greater than fishing top water. You get the feel of the line, the sound of the splash and the sight of the hit. Great combination. And the topic of my seminar at the Saltwater show! working on it now

"Fish, just one of God's gifts to us."
