Here Is The Holy Grail⦠of bass fishing. Dustin Chelette landed a pair of 10-pound bass on consecutive casts at Louisianaâs Caney Lake. Thanks to Outdoor Life for reporting this epic event. Notably, Dustin released both of them. He caught them in 4 to 6 feet of water on a sloping bank with black and blue bass jigs.

Iâd expect that growth rate in Clear Lake. A clue to the presence of a bunch of bass is the quickness and aggressiveness they display on the bite. Itâs a simple matter of competition â and tells you that there are a lot of bass close by. Keep your lures in the water; keep them still except for a little âpopâ every 20 seconds. When you feel a bite, wind down slowly to take any loose line off the water â then strike firmly
