Brookline Reservoir Bass

I had an appointment nearby and decided to schedule some time after to stop here. I was surprised at how man bass there were. I stopped by the structure on the Lee street side and set up. At firs nothing was happening and I was starting to get bored. I sat down and stared at the bobber for a few minutes then bam. I pulled up the biggest perch I've ever caught. He must have been around a pound give or take. I decided to switch up from worms after having most of my crawlers get chewed up by sunfish. I threw on my size 8 perch colored husky jerk. I have really good eyes and I'm able to see pretty far and deep and I just watched as the bass toyed with it. The would follow it then bump it. I even watched three of them hanging around it at one point. They were taunting me. I finally stuck my number 6 flat rap on and pulled in a 2lb. bass. Then I pulled in a few smaller ones and called it a night. It was nice to feel that high I get whenever I catch a bass. It wasn't a bad trip. I'm considering another visit before it becomes crowded with joggers.
