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!
