Its going to be on the same river two years in a row. They had the opportunity to fish some shallow fast rapids in Knoxville but everyone went downstream.

This stuff. You will see it everywhere

The kind I am imagining doesn't mat up. I'll find the name but it's more like grass beds instead of mats. Tall green stuff, mats of cheesey stuff is a no go with the buzz bait

Pull a buzzbait through that grass first thing in the morning until at least 9 or so

Yes I have several. They catch them in cold water like a blade bait or in summer schools

Woops I didnt read all the replies. Thanks for the info!!!

I always thought blade baits were an old school lure

I’ve never in my life pegged a Texas rig. I use a shakey head at some point in my day 99% of fishing trips. I like a Texas rig (with sliding bullet weight) when the water is a faster and muddier than normal, or just when I need the bait down deep really quickly

You’re always hauling in some fat green ones

I’ve heard them make the noise but dad gum if I couldn’t find the rocks . Seemed to me like it’s head was one big rock

Not soon enough! I think I might have seen a small male largemouth on a bed Saturday in inches of water. Then of course I Caught two nice smallies about 15-19 feet where they always are........ 10 feet is too shallow! Haha. But seriously most places near my house your boat would almost have to be touching dry land to get a 10 ft reading on the depth finder

Awesome. 6 lb is becoming a regular thing for you!!

Too many people and not enough water........ It still amazes me that 40 million people didn't see that one coming

Bobby Garland baby shad is all you'll ever need, I hate bobbers though

Southern version of toothy critters. The sauger was big enough to ride home with me

I netted the drum for my buddy and asked if he wanted a picture. He said no so I took one anyway haha

It’s pretty diverse here but I usually forget to count. Since last night is fresh on my mind, we caught 2 rock bass, one smallmouth, a bunch of white bass, a drum and a walleye. Could have easily caught a yellow bass, largemouth, spotted bass, bluegill, skipjack herring, or various sunfish and catfish in the same area. And occasionally sauger striper and wiper

I’m sure the browns will take him too

What a beast! Congrats!

They would rather make their money off the people that follow the rules and pay for license and registration

We catch them all the time in Alabama. Bass fight way harder believe it or not. Go Vols beat them Florida Gators!!

None required

I always eat mine without the jelly. Reese's creamy peanut butter. sometimes I skip the bread too!
