Well I was finally able to get out on a boat with a good friend and had a GREAT time. Lake Guntersville had a fast current and was very muddy but we found fish and was able to get a few in the boat.

 

I had the infamous "one that got away" story as I had a 5lb 'er (witnessed and guestimated by a VERY reputable source) but didn't get her to the boat. It was my fault I lost her but that's OK, lesson learned.

 

I was able to pull in quite a few 1-2 lb'ers including some spotted bass as well. The biggest of the day was a new PB at about 3.5 lbs which is fantastic for me and only stoked the fire more. I think one of the funniest thing was pulling up next to boats that weren't having too much luck and pulling fish out.

 

The lessons I learned were numerous and it changed my entire perspective on how to fish better. Also there is no doubt I need a boat.

 

Congrats on the great trip! Looks like the water is high and muddy.  Glad you had a great time and congrats on the PB!!!!

Nice looking fish!

Nice fish.  The Tennessee river is great.
