Some pics from last evening and this morning, the kids are still catching the big ones @ol'crickety. That’s a 5 lb 21” on top, lunker of the week so far

This is what happens most every spring in Knoxville, they hold back all the water to bring the highland lakes up 30-40 feet. (30,000 acre lakes, that’s holding back a ton of water). when the water is still the fish spread out and roam. When it’s ripping current they position themselves somewhat predictably. The good thing is, they can’t just skip out on eating so you can still catch ‘em. For docks, I love skipping a worm or tube under them. Also fishing docks with a jig can be very fun. For the points I also like dragging a worm but a Carolina rig instead of skipping something compact. fish without current will give a reaction strike as well, like burning a rattle trap.

I think palanuik lost that elite event because his cull clip got hung on something in the livewell and his fish croaked

Morning session was pretty good, I got a decent one with a fluke on top in some salad, managed to get it out with 8lb seaguar basix on a spinning outfit. @ol'crickety, I was outfished by my buddy’s son in the back of my boat 3-2 this morning, he’s a hammer!

Nice fish and a fine pair of liberty’s

@ironbjorn, that’s two this month, not sure what to think. Might be a lightning strike headed my way

Fun first couple days of vacation , got one with spinnerbait and a decent one ate a swim jig off the surface in water willow, fun fun fun . Then caught some in the middle of the day with some threadfins we netted. Tried a new spot below a dam this evening and we didn’t do any good but there’s big spotted bass potential (we think).

I think I’ve got one, I could make it yours in exchange for an ice cold miller’s beer………

Congrats! 7-8 lbs?

Grease is ok, WD40 makes your boat come off in rush hour traffic according to Chris zaldain hahah

Wow @ScottW, that’s a pond monster ! Sounded like an eventful battle haha

Congratulations!!!

Flip flops in summer

My buddy that was bringing a chainsaw brought 3! And mine that I figured wouldn’t start. It starts and runs but won’t stay running, gummed carb just like we thought so that should be easy. It’s amazing how fast things go when you get the right weapons

I remember those grubs!

I’d like to be “on em”
