Yep, I think Rick is right.

It reminds me of a time I was able to catch a lot of bass when I caught a school of shad feeding on cottonwood tree puffs that were drifting out on the river.

The sandbass (white bass) are my favorite fish to catch. When they hit a fly they do it on the run. No little thump with these guys, they will try and rip the rod right out of your hand. In my opinion are one of the hardest fighting fish. (pound for pound) It's like a sunfish only a little bigger.
