A great suprise
 
Just took a run out to Vineyard sound in search of some bonito. I entered the sound and noticed a few terns, so I headed toward them. There was a considerable number of cormorants under the terns chasing bait around, though I never found out what it was. I had a white Rebel jumpin minnow on a light setup so I sent it flying. What blew up on it was no bonito, but a bass in the mid 20's. All of a sudden the bass began boiling all around and I was right in the middle... All alone. I lost several, but landed six up to about 38 lbs. Just incredible. August 7, mid day, all on topwater. An ideal situation I happned upon by chance. I love this stuff.

Very nice. That's what it's all about. The moment of the miracle so to speak. Funny how you never expect it when it happens.
