Took a trip to Barkley lake yesterday first time out in my new to me tr20 by myself. Had a pretty good day water temps were in the mid to upper 60's so I started in the shallows thinking the fish maybe trying to bed. No luck there so i moved back to the secondary points and the deeper banks moving back. Found my first fish of the day in 7 fow on a bandit 200 crankbait.

I caught a few more smaller fish on the crank bait till i stopped to eat a pbj sandwich. After lunch I thought I would try a jig the fish didn't seem overly aggressive. After switching to a jig I went on to catch 4 more keepers

I was thinking not bad i got 5 for around 15 pounds no big fish I just need a kicker and that's when I got this bite

there is my 15 pound kicker i was looking for lol everything was loving the greenpumpkin jig this matching paca crawl dipped in JJ's. Sorry the pictures do those fish no justice at all still trying to get the fish alone pictures down

Nice catches bought a Bandit 200 just havent use it yet good to see it works.

Nice day....well except that last fish!! LOL

Yeah I knew it wasn't a bass I just wanted my jig back lol
