Fishing without bait.

I remember when I was a young fellow, a friend of my grandparents took me fishing.
Jex Howlett, he was a real estate agent in Casterton, Victoria in Australia, took me to the Glenelg river near Sanford. The fish were all crazy for sure, a feeding frenzy I guess.
After we both had 4 or 5 fish each after getting bites instantly, Jex cast with no bait and got a bite right away, 'try it' he said. After about half and hour, we had both filled our buckets and put the worms back in the ground for later. I even managed to hook a tortoise thing, I threw that back. The fish were blackfish and mountain trout. They were yummy too.
I have never ever seen a river run like that, I'm glad he took me there, I never would have believed it in a river.
Has anyone else had success with being in the right place at the right time and used NO bait?

I can remember going to a trout farm somewhere near Albury, many years ago, and there were so many fish there at the time, you just cast your line, reeled it in and often a fish was on the end of it. sometimesyou'd hook them through different parts of their bodies.
