I feel like I've had a long dry spell for big fish. Well I fixed that last Thursday, and could have been way better.

Thursday I headed to Cedar Valley Reservoir, hoping to try to expand on what my buddy had shown me last week. I started with a buzzbait, and really wore them out with it. One of those rare CV days where I not only caught some good ones, but I caught a bunch of fish too. I also lost a 5-6 pound fish on a dock cable, another 5lb class fish to a poor net job, and a giant I'm not going to guesstimate but you can see the explosion in the video, and I got a good look at it, she was huge. Bad thing is, I lost a really heavy fish off the same stump last week with Chris. My biggest 5 went 20 pounds 5 ounces. Buzzbait, spinnerbait, homemade bladed jig, and beaver were all I needed.

Man, that was one heck of a day!

 

 

That was one nice day on the water! Congratulations! Awesome video too!

Great day!  Thanks for sharing the video.

Solid action right there ~

Congrats

Might be another example of "The Fall" bite starting a little earlier than one may expect.

Nice work

Great stuff, Blue!

It's lovely when you don't even have to look at a spinning rod

Those are some nice fish, congrats! It's nice when you only have to throw a handful of different baits because you have the bite figured out.

Nice day.  But explain to me that "two rod tango" you had going on there?

I saw a fish following the fish I'd hooked so I dropped another bait next to the fish I had hooked and the follower was on it immediately. 

Nice!  Normally that only works when you have someone else with you. Awesome you got it done by yourself!

sounds like a killer day there clayton!

dang!

That's some good catching right there!

Very good day indeed.? that double hookup is so great.
