Reed Johnson and his son Randy (TNDeer's drawalot) have been kind enough to visit with me every June. It's become a tradition. The father & son duo have caught 45 lb. and 48 lb. cats respectively. They enjoy "battling each other for the biggest." Unfortunately their existing personal best records held up today. 
TVA threw us a curve ball, cranking up all four generators at Chickamauga Dam to top speed at 8 am. That throws me off my favorite tailwater pattern, so we had to work for our fish today. We caught 'em, but we covered a lot of water to do it. We caught fish today anywhere from 8 feet deep to 50 feet deep, and all points in between. And had to fight some serious current to do it. All on chicken, as usual. A good average size... a good number of the fish we caught today were 10 - 16 lbs., with a few smaller ones thrown in for good measure.
It was a good day with two fine gentleman who keep coming back, even when I make'em work for their fish, which means life is good and gettin' better every day!
