Cottontop, Dale Hollow, Shellcracker, 4-5-12, Eddie

We fished Wed. Thur. and Friday. The shellcrackers and big bluegill were biting good when you could find them. We also caught several good cats and eight smallies. All were caught on 1/16 jig heads tipped with night crawler.

Now that is a big shellie. Wow. Haven't seen ones that big around in numbers in a long time.

Looks like a big ole pregnant female. Tenn. Angler Recognition Program (TARP) trophy size is 11 in., you beat that by a good 1.5 in.
