I’ll say no. Just feels silly and wrong to me when casting it and the fish I’ve caught are hooked all over the body. Seems like a dragging hook apparatus (and we can only Use 3 hooks) im glad tourney trails banned it, I think they did it for optics not state regs. Dangle a bunch of baits off a chandelier and drag the waters for bass doesn’t look that good to me, more fit for tuna in the deep blue seas. I change the channel when I see tactical bassin throwing them over and over and over

Nice ones!!!

I don’t even have it and it has taught me plenty, a lot of those articles we read back in the day were slightly bogus 😂

The amount of water going over the nolichucky dam was double the highest amount that has ever gone over Niagara Falls . The TVA dams all start downstream of there and do an absolutely magnificent job of storing flood water. They are the only reason Knoxville and Chattanooga aren’t perpetually under water. I wonder if they can extend their reach into NC? They could definitely use a taller dam and bigger lake on the nolichucky in TN and it probably would hurt to have one somewhere upstream of Asheville . People got upset when TVA took their land but it was for a very good reason, the Appalachians have been flooding since forever. Before TVA, East TN was a bunch of failing farms constantly being washed away

I use an anchor often but I got tired of losing 30$ + anchors so I use cinder blocks @MassBass I run a boat without sonar all the time , it’s not that hard…… nobody even learnt us how to count good

22” is a monster!

You can’t wash off E. coli and they farm a lot more than just produce I can count on zero fingers the number of people I’ve heard of getting sick from eating catfish they caught but the list of people that got sick from grocery store and restaurant food is a very long one

I’d love to hear those stories and see the photos! We’ve got similar ones in my family, most from coalfield, TN and wise, VA

I fished a whole season without a trolling motor and I think I caught more . I just kneeled down on the front of the boat and paddled. For those that say you can’t paddle a bass boat, I wouldn’t want them helping me hauling stuff to the dump if you know what I mean 😂

Perhaps even worse ? We will probably never know the truth with the amount of money involved

Damages are estimated at 100 billion dollars, I’d guess it’s going to be more

Flooded out

@F14A-B, glad somebody “left Harlan alive”

I mean, you eat the ag causing the runoff…..

We are all good here @Spankey, across the mtn not so much the rivers that come across the Appalachians from NC blew way out so the current is raging, the SMB will adapt as you know

Those are good weights for a tough lake ! 12 lbs would probably win anything near my house this time of year

It was “that time” here, now all the smallies are washed to New Orleans

I wouldn’t give 35 cents for one

The whole bag? Old timers only put one in there and call it a “goober in the dope”

@Pumpkinseed Lizard Never scored a touchdown but I’ll eat pig skin any day

Cool deal, sounds like a fairly productive lake

Welp thats more dangerous than a few years of heat waves all in one day, prayers for the families . Not to mention the millions in property loss without the TVA dams this would be WAY worse on our side of the mountains

Kris passed on today, I guess Willie Nelson is the last man standing. Thanks for all the songs, RIP. You will be missed

Great sun photos!

Just saying your store bought fish are coming from the same public water as the ones you catch. And farm raised fish are fed ground up public water fish (fish food) and can have even higher levels of containments than wild caught
