I hate shearing this secret because it 's probably the BEST...something I knew...but saw it demonstrated by a pro...

I went to a certain spot that I had previously caught a lot of hogs 20 years ago..maybe longer..I was happy catching 8 fish ..lost about 6..THEN a pro pulls up in a nice bass boat..

And here's the tip..and the style I plan to fish at this lake for the next 3 months..He pulls up to the shore line..and instead of flipping in front of the structure like me...He puposely lets' ALL that go..and reaches over into the slop that is on top of 12 inches of water..I'm thinking .."What are you doing LOL ?"

Then WHAM!!!! he's pulling out #4 of the day;;another bass over 5 pounds..Huh....I put my spinner bait away and started flipping...He continued to work around this one pit...IGNORING all the easy flipping stuff and concentrated on the soup...and in 12 inches of water..WHAM!!!! I turn around and lo and behold he's tackling a 10 pound plus..but big mama hung up on him..and he lost that battle..

I was very impressed as I had covered all that water..but on the easy acessable side..probalby the biggest lesson I've learned ever..and he only said one statement..I watched and learned something very powerful..The statement was an answer ot my question..How many fish have you caught..."This is number 4 "
