Catch of a lifetime: Local angler reels in two bass on one cast

Two bass on one cast While fishing on a Tomahawk-area lake last week, Bill Sparr caught two largemouth bass on one cast. The artificial bait was a Live Target, with each bass, measuring 10 inches and 14 inches, caught on a separate treble hook at the same time. Sparr said anglers will occasionally catch a perch or small northern and have a second, larger fish attack the smaller one, and both will get netted together, but in his over 70 years of fishing, hes never heard of an occurrence like his.
