Pretty cool

I havent been able to get out much the last 3 weeks, some bad things going on in my life that havent allowed much free time and I really havent been in the mood to fish.
My wife pushed me to go July 4th, I left the dock at 8pm with a bucket of eels that were a light grey from sitting in the water for 3 weeks at the dock. Around 9:00 or so the fireworks started. From the area in the bay I was fishing, I counted 8 different town fireworks at once. It was an amazing view. I was wondering if the noise would spook the fish. I found out a few minutes later. My drift was perfect along a rocky shoreline as the tide dropped. In the midst of the fireworks I got a 22lb fish. For the next 2 hours, I landed 4 bass, 22-27lbs. They were ferociously hitting the eels. All fish were loaded with sea lice, Im guessing they just moved into the bay. I gut hooked a 24lb and kept it. Fried some up for dinner tonight. Never watched fireworks and caught fish before. I left at 11:30 pm, the wind changed and was blowing me into the rocks, fish were still there. Great night and really cleared my head.
