Rick Stacey aka Bent Rod, and I had a nice morning below Nickajack dam, even though they weren't running any turbines the entire time that we were down there. We caught nearly everything that swims except Rockfish or Hybrids. We got onto the white bass fairly quickly and caught severl nice ones. I believe that I brought home 9 big whites. Then the drum moved in and we caught 5 of my pets. Rick caught the biggest one, but I caught the most. After all, I am the Drumking. emoBigsmile

Rick caught 3 channel catfish, 2 while we were bluegill fishing, and lost a couple more fish that pulled off. We know my rule. If you don't see it, it was a drum. emoBigsmile I lost a spotted bass on his initial jump and also a skipjack on the first jump. Then we decided to go bluegill fishing.

We caught several, but most were small. Rick did catch a monster Longear or hybrid sunfish. It was 10.75 inches long. Too bad that there isn't a TARP award for this fish. He also hooked a Smallmouth Bass that looked over 5 lbs on a cricket. It came off on the 2nd mile high jump at the boat. emoBang emoBang emoBang We got a few shellcrackers to go along with the bluegills and then decided to call it a day as it was getting warm. I iced down the fish and headed for Chattanooga.

Thanks for taking me fishing today, Rick. Let's do this again soon. emoBigsmile emoGeezer
