Not a big fish blitz but....One night last year is clear in my mind. I got set up to fish just before dark, and high tide....I usually fish with a buddy but he couldnt make it. Schools of big bait were swimming nervously about all over the place. My first cast with a brand new sp minnow got bumped twice on the retrieve then slammed again before coming tight. For the next two hours, on every cast, my lure was either taken when it hit the water or after a few cranks. The fish were stacked up just behind a sandbar. Even when I missed on the first hits they continued to harass until I just stopped reeling a few feet away from where I was standing, and they inhaled it. One large fish ripped the flimsy split ring holding the belly hook off(I usually change to stronger rings and hooks) just before I could bring it in. I continued to fish it with just the tail treble making the job of unhooking them a lot easier. I dont count numbers of fish, but there were several keeper size in the mix.
