My PB Smallmouth

Went out to Tennessee River this weekend with my good friend Kent a.k.a. Roadwarrior.

Saturday the temperature was mid 50's in the morning. The water temp was about 55 degrees. TVA had 8 gates opened and the current was a rockin.

We started out with topwater. We had no takers.

Went to some jerks. Not much going on.

Threw a jig on a drop off and kaboom!!! I got the better of this 5 pound smallie (my PB). At first I thought I had a big ole drum as he did not come up immediately. But this dude came to the surface and I had smiles ear to ear. ;D

If you have not introduced yourself to Roadwarrior I suggest you do so. He has a wealth of fishing knowledge and he is one of the nicest guys on the planet.

Thanks again Kent.

    With eight floodgates open and water release at 95,000 cfs,

    the fishing will be great if we can get a break in the weather.

    We tried again Sunday morning, but with 15 mph wind and

    temperatures in the 20s it was a no-go. I'm just glad we got

    in a little on Saturday!

    I guess RW might as well go into full time guiding now! Terrific Fish Man and WTG on that new PB ;) Nothing like Slob Brownies to get the blood pumping... What were you trailing your jig with?
