Not a bad Saturday!!!

Milliken has moved from 90th to 9th today

We don’t have any small bodies of water but I do like to try different stuff. Never burned out tho, I wish I could fish right out in front of my dock all day everyday

100% of the field got a limit, maybe I should go to Oklahoma sometime 😂

Canterbury had a smallie hooked and his rod bent over the left side of the boat. The fish jumped into the right side of the boat and then flopped back out

Blake Capps with a big ole brown fish !

Well they are catching SMB flipping flooded bushes , sounds like home 😂

Have fun! I did that about 18 yrs ago…. Dang I’m old they will tell you halibut don’t fight, they are lying 😂 one of them grabbed a trolling rig near the beach while salmon fishing. It slid off the gaff and took off like a rocket, way out in front of the moving boat

barge and a rain coat, classic TN river . I think Daniels said he was starting on Barkley in the video but I have no idea where this is. He did get a 4/12 LM in that tree top in swift water

Just get a new one, they aren’t something you wanna use too many times haha. Alaska has the worst mosquitos I’ve seen, guess they get it while they can

Somebody say head net? Needed those on isle royale for sure!!

I wish I could night fish! I fell asleep with my belt on last night 😂. Working then mowing, I’m bout beat by dark

I don’t need to see so much as sleep 😂

Night time is for sleeping

We are pulling for ya Ken! Those fish will be there when you are ready

That would be the fish of the year nearly every year for me

I don’t know of any guides up there but I could be wrong, probably a few that troll for lake trout. You can purchase live trout that smallies will chew up at Hampton trout farm . There are some big sleeper LM in there too. Winter is better fishing but summer can be good, it’s so high in the mtns it could still be very early post spawn. Wind is always limiting factor, it gets wild at times and you can’t get back to your truck. It’s the definition of a microclimate yes Holston is perfect for kayak

Kingsport??? Hit watauga lake, there are some 6s in there too…… plenty of 3-4 lbers in the Holston river right thru Kingsport as well

Good thing about TN? Smallmouth indeed live in all lakes, rivers, and streams For the Midwest I would try fishing the bank of monster lakes like @softwateronly or borrowing a canoe/kayak and floating something. You can buy a canoe for the price of a rod/reel combo anymore

Wish I was there with ya!!!

Rig it weedless no sinker and just reel her in

Send to me, they are no good. I will dispose of them humanely for you

I was bombing a popper yesterday with a Okuma hakai reel and Cerros rod. The reel casts like a dream without much adjusting, even though several adjustments are available
