I am tired.

Great to meet you today, and a Great Trip with Sam. No real monster cats, but my son caught enough to fill a 48 quart cooler. Just finished cleaning them in this dang cold wind.

I will definitely be back, my son had a blast. Still talking about that drum. Nevermind the striper and the nice smallmouth he finished the day with.

To be honest, he outfished Sam and I both. As soon as I get pics from Sam I will post them.

Again, thanks, and Tell Sam thanks, he really works hard to please the clients. he did a great job today.

Every time I looked across the way at Sam's white G3, Curt had another fish on the line. :) To be honest, it got a little bit intimidating for a while. :(

Sam is a good man. I'm proud to be associated with him. For others, here is Sam's report of the day:

Out with Robert and Curt Brewer from Knoxville, TN. We've had a strange month of weather, lots of cool weather. Today brought us a fierce wind out of the west, causing havoc on our drifts.

I started out netting shad from the bank, armed and ready to go with about 50 baits. Curt was drifting that around with only 1 taker that pulled off. We boated 2-3 small cats, and then I hook a big fish. I pass off to Curt and he's in for a battle. I see brown, oh man, I think it's a flathead. A minute or two later, a 17 lb drum surfaces. Wow, what a fight from a drum!!!

After that, I gave up on the shad and just decided to drift for the cats. I just can't turn down the cats when they are willing to cooperate. We hit the cats in 3 different spots, but had to work for it, and work for it, and work for it!!! A couple of doubles came in the boat that tipped the scales at over 20 lbs combined, so that was fun.

The Brewers brought a 50 qt cooler to keep fish, and it was filled to the top with blues and 1 lonely channel cat. It even had a big longear sunfish that somehow hooked up on chicken as we had on a triple, me landing the bluegill, quite funny.

After the cats cooled down, I went and fished a few bass spots with no luck. We all switched over to shad, and Curt brought in a nice little striper that put up a great fight. We made a different drift in one of my old bank spots and Curt brought in a hard fighting smallmouth. The kid was a fish catching machine, made Dad and me proud!!

I thought about drifting again, but the Brewers had the drive back to Knoxville and a mess of fish that I'm sure they just started on right now. We just couldn't survive till the evening bite for stripers.

Thanks for the trip guys, I think we did well considering a high of 60 and a 10-20 mph wind. What a solid weekend on the river!!!

I don't think I've ever met such a polite and respectful young man such as Curt. The kid could flat out fish too!!! I couldn't ask for a better set of anglers to take fishing.
