Fish were biting yesterday!!

[Squirrelhunter91]

Yesterday I made a decision to go do some fishing at the reservoir behind my house. I was just using a regular rooster-tail spinner bait with some of that Berkley Powerbait gel stuff. I would put the gel on the lure and cast like you're supposed to. I don't know if the gel stuff influenced the strikes I was getting, but what I was doing was working! I fished for about 3.5 hours, catching 6 fish. 5 bass and 1 bluegill. 6 fish may not seem like alot to you folks, but it is for me for down at this spot. I rarely catch fish down there and any day when I pull in atleast one I consider myself lucky. There were plenty of tiny 3 inch bass hanging out in the shallows near structures. But I caught this one bass that was HUGE! It is the biggest fish I have ever caught and of course the biggest bass. I saw this fish swim by and I kept trying to cast into the direction he was headed but he wouldn't bite. So I then moved about 20' off to my left and casted and as soon as the lure hit the water he slammed it hard. He did everything you want a bass to do. He jumped out the water with the lure in his mouth, and even put up a good fight. When I landed him, I put my size 9 boot next to him and he was atleast two of my boots lengthwise. Then weight wise he was probably 4 or 5 pounds. Absolutely the biggest fish I have ever caught. I wanted to keep him so badly but I threw him back with hopes of catching him again. Anybody else do any fishing yesterday?

I went back again today and didn't catch anything. The rain has these fish all screwed up.
