April 16th I came fishing here on my old town topwater 120 pedal drive kayak with a few buddies. We had three days of 80 degrees this being the third day. Also the full moon was today as well. Water temp was 60-62 so I knew they would be shallow. I decided to throw the Rabid Baits Rabid-Shad soft plastic jerk bait. They MUNCHED it! I fished it just below the surface and also on top almost like a frog. I had over 20 strikes/blowups during the 5-6 hour trip. Boating about 10 largemouth and missing many more. The full video is on my youtube channel Jake_stem_fishing.
