No luck today. Casted to lots of risers today but none taking anything. Saw two other guys fishing with powerbait. One guy caught 4 fish, including one that must've been about 18 inches. He gave them all away to fishermen nearby. Two guys in a boat pulled several from the middle of the lake. What irked me was a guy fishing from shore that hooked a fish on powerbait, dragged it out of the water and released it 5 minutes later. He stared down at the water for about 30 seconds, presumably at the dead fish he just let go. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that it was deep hooked and that he tried his best to get it back in the water quickly. Please keep fish that are deep hooked, or bleeding, if legal to do so. They most likely will die a slow and painful death if you release them in that condition.
