Ridiculous... :rolleyes:

Jeez... Need the right location and I think we have a winner! Something south of the Mason-Dixon Line? :D

Rating: 10 Fish the Rage Tail Baby Craw T-rigged on a 1/0 bait hook or 2/0 EWG; 1/8 oz bullet weight, unpegged. Be careful...Last year at Pickwick Big O and our soldiers caught 140 smallmouth and three PBs during the flood! Most of my 5+ last year were caught on the Baby.

Wow! EXACTLY!

Well now, what's wrong with that? To tweak it a bit, I'd have a large breasted women in low cut blouse workin' the register and BBQ To Go! http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/15-minutes-rodney-atkins/a88e2c24d5b669861934a88e2c24d5b669861934-921440223534?q=the+worst+15+minutes+of+my+life&FORM=VIRE3 :D

The competition has a formidable lead, that's for sure. All we can do is try. Thank's for your support. -Kent

Six fish in eight hours. The only one that measured was a 2 1/2-3 lbs largemouth. Saturday was cold, wet and windy. TVA opened four gates and all the generators seemed to be operating. We fished shallow, deep, grass, rip-rap and rocks. We even spent time immediately below the dam. We blame it on the overnight arrival of the cold front, but whatever it was, it wasn't working for us.

Cool pic!

Florence hosts a number of tournaments, both professional and club events. The money from this award will be used to build a pavillion for fishermen, specifically a permanent facility for the weigh-in and awards.

Everyone knows about PICKWICK LAKE on the Tennessee River and how GREAT the BASS fishing is (not to mention striper, catfish, and crappie).

Too cute! Great post.

Welcome aboard!

Anyone fishing Pickwick below Wilson Dam? We did very well earlier this spring on square billed crankbaits, but I haven't heard a peep since the flooding began. Anyone been down recently?

The river crested yesterday at just under 48', the second highest ever recorded. With some fluctuation, +/- and inch or so, the water river is ecpected to stay this high 7-10 days. More rain is forcast over the next three days.

Just silly... The rig you describe is for white bass, crappie and stocker trout, not bass.

Treat yourself and spend a little more money: Spinning tackle: St. Croix Avid AVS70MF/ Shimano Stradic CI4/ Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft #6 Baitcasting gear: St. Croix AVC70MHF/ Shimano Citica 200E or Curado 200E7/ Yo-Zuri #12

Hmm... Why ask if you are already committed? The 2500 series is what you needed and 12 lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid is the line for general baitcasting gear. Your Penns are way too heavy for freshwater in general and bass fishing in particular.

Slightly above average... :fireworks-074:

WOO-HOO! Congratulations! Great pic, fantastic fish! -Kent

Geez..... Man, I love this post! Congratulations, that's one heck of a day. -Kent

It's just personal preference, but I like 7' rods. For weightless soft plastics, I fish a ES70MF. I have the EC70MHF which I predominately use for big spinnerbaits. The Avid AVC70MF is my regular spinnerbait rod; AVC70MM is a classic light crankbait rod. I also have the AVC66MF for topwater and jerkbaits; AVS66MLF for white bass, crappie and stocker trout. I'm a St. Croix fan! My suggestion for you is to buy the Legend now and use some of these suggestions when you consider you next purchase. The Avid AVC70MHF is probably the best "all-around" rod you can buy at the pricing point. Good luck!

I have a book for you, but I'll have to track it down. It is specifically written for smallmouth fishing on all reservoirs in the Tennessee River system. I may be at Speedy's cabin or I have lent it out to someone. I'll find the book and get it to you. -Kent
