was out scouting the other day, when all hell broke loose, full on day time blitz conditions, got to a good rock and started throwing a big pencil, managed two fish 35 and 34" on topwater, then a lot of short hits, switched to a bucktail hoping to pull some bigger fish from under the blitzing fish and to my surprise only got dinks 18-24" fish, went back to topwater and got fish another 34"

anyone ever experienced a similar situation?

in the past when I've gone with the same tactics its yielded bigger fish

i even threw bigger profile baits, heavy swim shad, wood plugs, magic swimmer and all got love from smaller fish.
