Dang man, when you said you could tear up a hotdog😊... that is one of my favorite memories fishing with my dad, we always stopped & got chili dogs on the way home.
Thank you Rocky for taking us along with you today. Fishing with live shad, your right, you can catch anything that is in the water. Good tip for dumping cast net in a second net to get rid of scales and trash. God bless ya brother. Stay safe out there on the water.
What about a good BBQ sandwich with cole slaw on it? I'm chuckling about the lack of a few crappie fillets because, well, I've surely been there. I'm telling you what that flathead was pretty. The perfect camouflage pattern for an ambush hunter. That fish was healthy. I've noticed the fish in the upper half of the Tennessee River from Wilson Dam all the way upstream through Knoxville to the Forks of the River all look very good. I haven't really seen much of the lower half to have an opinion. The water quality has improved tremendously since the 1980s. Very noticeably so to someone who spent 25 years away and not fishing it. Ft. Loudon Lake, my home lake, is still called dirty but It is nothing like the 1970s. Perhaps the moniker of "dirty" isn't as deserved as it once was. Rocky, you and that other old man (I'm older than both of you.) from Alabama make this old East Tennessee boy hate Washington state. Well, you all and a few other things. lol Tight lines, Rocky and thank you so much for letting me in the boat.
I’ll buy bait sometimes golden shiners They’ll catch fish for sure especially this time of the year Hope you catch a bunch 🎣🎣🎣 Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment 🎣🎣
Always enjoy your videos brother. You've certainly inspired me to attempt catching bait with my little girl. She ain't quite developed the patience for artificial yet but sure does love going fishing with Daddy. We attempted it yesterday at Chickamauga but all I got was a net full of hydrilla lol. Keep up the great videos brother and God Bless you my friend!!
I just keep throwing that net in areas I thought the bait might be. Sometimes I wouldn’t catch any. I use my graft the best I could to see them Thanks for watching and thank you for your comment 🎣🎣
