I was fortunate enought to be involved in a few blitzes like that this year. Hours on end, the best one being at night and there was only 3 of us there and there was big bass too. It's all part of the experience.
its like that every nov. i bring my kids- was there for 4 days last week before word got out- had fishing like that to ourselves at times other times was at most 8 or 10 others- phew- my oldest daughter got 1 about 24 inches o'wise its all 18/20 inch fish.
