Having not fished Canyon Lake much in the last 10 years, I went into the day completely blind. I decided to start throwing a dropshot in old areas but after a few minutes I gave up on it and decided to throw a topwater. It was the best decision I ever made fishing. A few minutes later I had my first fish, a 7lb largemouth and 2 other blowups. I went back down the bank and hooked into a 5lb largemouth. I ran with that bait all morning fishing similar banks and had 4 fish for 20lbs by 7am, and a limit for 24.5lbs by 8am. I was able to cull once and moved my limit over 25lbs. I continued to catch fish after fish all morning and throughout the day. I had fish chasing the bait, blowing up on it, and choking it, was just a perfect storm for me. I even caught a few I saw on beds as was covering water. It was hands down the best day for average size, and bites that I have had. The weigh-in was interesting as my competitor caught over 21lbs late in the day, but I took the W.
