Dream About Spring

An angler's blood usually gets to pumping just thinking about it. I'm talking, of course, about one of those mystic, early mornings, with steam rolling off the glass-calm water. The wake of your favorite topwater bait pierces through the surface, and then it happens--the moment that kept you awake last night, tossing and turning in bed, is nigh at hand. "Will this finally be the day I realize my dream?" you wonder. "Will I at long last lay claim to that prized fish of a lifetime?"

You do a double-take as you see that massive wake surging toward your bait. You speed up your cadence, then give it a quick pause. And WHOOSH! Suddenly, it's as though Sasquatch has tossed a Volkswagen on top of your bait. Chaos ensues, and time stands still as you wrestle the behemoth in his element. It's one of those magical moments that drives all of us anglers.

Without a doubt, topwaters are the most exciting way to catch a giant bass. Nothing compares to that huge toilet-flushing sound of a big bass inhaling a topwater lure, followed, of course, by some tail-walking that gets your heart to beating faster than a hummingbird can flap its little wings.

Now that I hopefully have gotten your adrenaline flowing, check out this video of the top 10 bass blow-ups of 2016--and dream about spring. Just click on this link: https://youtu.be/aXxZRkqN3tY.
