Clayton, Robbie and Devyn came to Chattanooga camping for kind of a "guy weekend." I was proud it included a fishing trip with me. Apparently the catfish weren't quite as proud.
We've hit a really tough bite on the cats. A week or two we were putting decent numbers of fish in the boat. But the midweek extreme cold snap knocked 'em in the head.
Fortunately we hit a pretty solid early bite at the Nuke that last about an hour or so. We put six respectable catfish in the boat, then they got lockjaw. Fortunately however Devyn caught his first-ever catfish, and obviously his bigger ever (24 lbs.). That made it a good day.
After we struggled on catfish a while we bailed off the lake, headed for the tailwaters and put a four dozen big bluegill in the livewell. With about 60 pounds of catfish and a cooler full of bluegill, the Knoxville boys went home with a good mess of filets.
