: Fished a pond in South Naperville, Friday from 7:15-8:45 P.M.
: 3 LM 10", 1 LM 13". Also had four hits that I failed to set the hook properly. Too anxious.
: Three were caught on a Heddon Torpedo and one was taken with a black buzzbait. This was my first attempt at fishing a topwater and I think I now have a better understanding of Eric's posts.

Thom,
When a fish hits a topwater, do not set the hook immediately, wait till you feel
the fish not just see it. It's harder than it sounds! But I guarantee you'll hook way more fish!
