And speaking of White Bass

[Ham]

and catfish in a river too

And every bluegill/sunfish that ever lived. In a river or a pond or a lake.

Whites and hybrids have usually been a bonus fish for me, have made some HO hum trips into memorable ones when a school of hybrids or big whites come up.  Some years ago on Truman while crappie fishing and catching nothing about a quarter mile of the lake exploded, I finally quit using my crappie rod and went to a casting rod with a blue chrome rattle trap.  Had more than one try to take the rattle trap away from the one I was fighting at the boat, puking up shad in the boat and not another boat fishing them for 30 minutes of pure amazing before they vanished.

I have had that happen on Truman quite a few times and there is nothing like it.  Last summer below the dam there was a frenzy right off the bank for a week.  Every body caught limits and they were all nice size.  Then in October of last year my son and I got into the whites and hybrids for two days.  Limited on over 18" hybrids with three guys on both days and had another dozen or so under 18.  The pictures are from day two.  Could not close the lid on either live well both days.

Amen.  Them and tailrace trout.  Predictable if you even halfway know what you are doing.

This explains your success
