What's the Most Fish You've Caught on Consecutive Casts?

[islandbass]

Just thought this might be interesting. For me it is (sad to say) only 3.

The grounds are that. Consecutive catches (hook up and landing the fish) with no losses in between.

4 great casts, made even sweeter by the stomping I gave my fishin partner that night.  The totals came out to like 30 fish for me and like 4 for him.  It was AWESOME!

I'm assuming the poll refers to freshwater bass.

My answer was four.

If it includes saltwater, that number would be much higher.

I voted regarding bass.

If you include bluegills and bream, it is over 15 in a row.

Yesterday morning (May 25) I caught 8 in a row before I lost a bluegill.

5 but that was Largemouth, Hybrids, and white bass all mixed in together. this was off of our dock at night with a crankbait. all three of these species stack up upunder our dock light and right when they start pulling water, they go into a feeding frenzy, Its a BLAST! ;D ;D But if were only counting LM then it would be 2.

[Garnet]

This is not fair, I have lakes available to me that you can go hours catching bass every cast.

I said 7 and it's only because I just can't remember back all the years.

It happened on the road trip at KY lake.  I had gone down to the boat to pull my rods out for the day and decided to toss a jig along the jetty.  The first cast resulted in a 15" keeper.  I continued to toss along the same place and continued to catch a bass on the next 6 casts.  The 8th cast resulted in no bite.  9th cast, another fish.

I quit after that.

Caught 13 in a row in Canada smallmouth fishing a couple of years ago caught 14 in 15 casts. I have it all on film somewhere.

[Skunked in DR]

It was 6 or 7 for me.  My wife and I were on a canoe trip and found a little flat next to a drop off that yielded a good sized SMB every cast until we moved on.  Now for the embarassing revelation, my wife outfished me.

If this includes rock bass the answer is in the 100s

[grimlin]

As far as i can remember I'm at 3 also for bass.

Bluegill fishing however is a different story.I gave up counting after 37.

Most everyone I would bet fishes for bass here, but this poll is not just for bass. Any fish/species goes so post that count(s) and if you wish you can be species specific. I bet the panfish and bluegill numbers is going to be high!

Walked up to a small lake near my house. The wind was blowing towards the bank I started at. Using Mepps #3 caught 15 fish on 16 casts . No way were they what you would call "keepers". Probably only 4 or 5 were. You didn't qualify size ...

I said more than eight because when you find a school of feeding fish (I'm not talking about schoolies) you can catch a ton by changing the direction of the cast as well as changing lure choice.  

[RoLo]

In order to answer that question you would have to 'Count Fish'.

Thank goodness, that's one bad habit I don't have ;D

When your timing is right, there are many places on Georgian Bay (Lake Huron)

where you will catch smallmouth bass on countless back-to-back casts.

Places where an unproductive retrieve is usually due to a lost fish.

This year I had a tournament at Geist Reservoir in Indianapolis, I pulled up on a point and caught 13 bass off of this one point.  8 of them came on consecutive casts, but they were all 11-13 in. fish.  It was so frustrating but very fun at the same time.

[senile1]

I really don't know.  After many years of fishing, a few 100 fish days, some 0 fish days, and the multitude of average days, this is one statistic that wasn't important enough for me to remember it.  

[Catt]

17 in a row twice  

[NasTMcfingas]

Just three when it comes to bass. Wow 17 in a row, I would have to bronze the lure. ;D

[CJ]

23 fish in 22 casts. Happened just this past Saturday.  

[GLADES]

I caught more than 20 small bass ( I stopped counting at 20) in a row at alligator alley a few weeks ago. It was crazy good fishing if you like catching small (12") bass. Im sure there are other guys around here with similiar reports. Right now in So Fl, it is a great time to teach kids how to bass fish. Any kind of small worm or bait works.

I went out yesterday and it was the same. I was pulling the baits out of their little mouths hoping a bigger bass would go after it.

I have some family in Vermont with a 22 acre lake butting up against their property.

When I was up there in April this year, I had a streak at the end of a day where I caught 15 in a row and 18 out of 20, at which point it was too dark to see.  None of the fish were under 2.5lbs, all smallmouth on a jerkbait.

It's not too difficult to get me to visit the family in VT.   ;D

My best day ever also happend this last weekend on Sunday.  Found a flooded cornfield with a bluegill spawn flat on a private lake loaded with bass.  The bass were raiding the nests. I did not keep exact counts but I know the number was around 25 to 30 fish in a row before I went a cast without a fish.  A few nice ones and dinks mixed in there.  My buddy and I went on to catch close to 100 bass in a 100 yard area.. all released of course.  I know that sounds like a lie... but its not.

On public waters my best was 14 on a wind blown point.  

My number for crappie would probably be near the same... although that occurs much more frequently.

16 dragging and Dead Sticking a 5 inch Senko Watermelon Red Flake on the Rio River. 16 ft hole maybe 40 feet wide in the back of a Bayou. Lost the 17th because I forget to check the condition of the line. All we keepers, largest was over 5 lbs. A Heron showed us the spot.

[bass wrangler569]

I'm not sure specifically but definitely over 8. The last time I can remember was in a pond using senkos. I had about a dozen in a row but none of them were over 3lbs

[J-B]

I had the most fun with my kids while brim fishing with  fly rods over the fish beds.  We lost count after 35 or so of non stop fish hitting the flys as they hit the water.  My kids thought it was the greatest thing, catching them like crazy we were.
