Well got the new cff season off to a good start out of dam on chickamauga. We started off going straight across the river to lock wall to try to catch three spots to fill the livewell. I ended up catching two on spinnerbait and one on crank bait so we were off and running to cull up . Next four places we hit nothing not a bite. So we go to spot five a shallow flat and we started catching keeper large mouth right off the bat on crank bait and jig. We stuck with that for about two hours and then ran up river to a current break out on main river and spotted some fish on a ledge on the graph and Steven picks up big crank bait and bam on the first cast catches the 8.28 large mouth . We stayed there for about thirty minutes to try to catch another but not another bite . By this time we have about an hour left we kept hitting spots out on river but never caught another fish. Ended day with three that went 14.29lbs and big fish . All fish we weighed were caught on crank bait and jig. Congrats to Ken and Charlie on 2nd. , and Earl and Ronnie on 3rd. See you all at riverpark on 19th.
