Envious… I've had one somewhat similar day this year and man, nothing beats the thrill of hitting big one after big one. Congrats.

Southern ILL is a real good bass area. Are was even in public lake. I have fished Devils Kitchen, Cedar. And Crab Orchard. Crab Orchard is very foreign to what you might expect in a big bass lake. I have not been there in many years. 10 lb bass were take every year. The largest string of bass I ever seen. came from there in the days when there was still a 10.bass limit. the smallest fish on that stringer was over 5 1/2 lbs amd the largest was near 8. I understand that those lakes down there are among the most fertile in region. Tqhere are a awful lot of lakes in the Shawnee National forest and I just wonder if these fish came from them. Beautiful country down there. I have a cousin lives on Lake of Egypt. I used to call it the Illinois Ozarks.
