Yikes! A barge went down river just after that drum.

What was the successful tactic?

Indeed

11 lb 15 oz is the smallmouth record in TN

Have mercy on us all .......... Every now and then I walk into my local watering hole and my buddy Calvin says “I can tell you didn’t fish today, because you don’t stink! “ Ask any canine or swine

You know about electric motors too?? Sometimes I wish I lived next door to you.......... just kidding I would drive you crazy with all my boat problems

I haven’t heard anything about it, where were they fishing?

Sounds accurate, although LA MS and AL have a bunch of them too

Where is “this way” again, up in the northeast?

Yeah I caught everything with that. I saw a walleye caught also! Good time of year for tail waters. I just buy jig heads and tie hair on with thread, easy peezy

@Jigfishn10, you are hilarious! I better have squirrel caught near that dam tomorrow or I’m gonna have to work the weekend......... and if I’m working the weekend I’m stopping at the dam of course! And I forgot to mention the lake house needs a toilet valve and gutters cleaned................ probably leave a minnow out while doing that............. I’ll be covered up in drums if I keep working!!

Woops meant to put this in “other species latest catch pics” thread.

Passed a dam while working and saw a lot of cars in the parking lot, something must be biting......... got 2 drum, one striper, one white bass and lost a big crappie at my feet, all in about 40 minutes. Used a hair jig I tied in olive/grey and tipped it with Bobby garland baby shad.

I’ll keep ya in mind this winter! back to the topic, I like Glenn’s theory. As you’ve seen on recent tournament trails, fall time is tougher fishing in the south so it would be a great time to do maintenance. Unfortunately, my friends and I just skip maintenance and go fishing 365..........

Spring is when everyone is fishing their 2 times a year! Haha. I’ll go with ya when it’s freezing . We always call the first warm Saturday in spring “amateur day” and watch people try to launch. Don’t the big monster bronzebacks bite in Jan-Feb?

Spring is the worst time to be fishing around here !

To quote Charles Barkley, “I’m not a role model” ?

I’ve seen a few like that in the French broad river. I confess to attempt snagging

We took an armada of boats to one of my fishing mentors funerals. We do a week long camping/fishing trip that spans 5 decades and none of the participants would miss it for the world . The funeral ended up being the day the trip normally starts, we showed up all dressed up driving campers and boats and went camping after the service. The entire family said he would have wanted it just like that

Ah the ole red herring.......... if someone is trying to copy me on the water, they better pack two lunches because it’s gonna be a while! But seriously no one ever tries to copy me except little kids trying to learn. Adults know better than to follow my example

I’ve thought about smearing coyote lure on a plastic worm before.......... Ain’t that the truth! I had a striper grab a top water boat side and nearly fainted. Had it been a 10 lb largemouth, I think I would literally kill over dead

Live baiting venomous reptiles? No wonder you catch the big ones!! Hehehe

Orange and blue beats all other colors for me. Makes no sense but it happens so it’s what I usually throw

That was my second guess..........
