The fishing was so good that it's hard to describe. I caught fish on a spinnerbait, a Chatterbait, a crankbait – you could catch them on anything, you just had to get the bigger ones. Today a guy who'd been watching me fish (my best spot) was on it and I never got on there. I fished around it and caught quite a few, but never got any bigger ones.
The neat thing today was I caught some fish in 25 feet of water on a 10-inch Berkley PowerWorm and a 3/4-ounce spinnerbait. You could catch them on topwater or down 25 feet – pick your poison. I just needed that 7- or 8-pounder and I went deep thinking I could wind one out of there, but I never did. But it was just incredible fishing.
The first day I probably caught 30 or 40 fish in a row – it would've gone on as long as I wanted to cast. I grabbed a big swimbait just to see if they wouldn't hit it and I caught some on that, too. It was crazy, and it was just a great week.
