Default Hook Setting Question

Spent a few hours in the Dunderhook section of Saddle River Park. First 10 minutes I caught a baby smallie right by the Falls.

Later on I found a honey spot with a whole school of of them just sitting there. I hooked two MONSTERS on rooster tails (not sure of the brand but they came in a pack of six at Walmart). First took my line into the some fallen trees and snapped my line. Second monster I got all the way to the bank but lost the hook set.

This leads me to my question: is my lure crap or am I not setting the hook correctly?
