Went with a friend Thursday afternoon and we did some jigs tipped with minnows bouncing on the bottom. We managed boating 6 nice keepers with the two largest being caught by my friend. One was 6 lbs and the other was 7 lbs. These and bluegill are my favorite eating fresh water fish.

I was using 3/4 ounce jigs I pour myself with a 2" soft plastic swimbait. Straight vertical jigging. 1/2 ounce would have been plenty with the current we were fishing I just don't have any poured up right now.

Yes, Tennessee does have walleye. These were caught in the Rock Island area of middle/east Tennessee.
 
Very nice, best eating ever! We have a spawn out of Dale Hollow where I live that is popular to fish. Honestly 90% of people just grab hook or net since there is no enforcement, you can watch them every night. I went 4 times this year during the spawn and caught one (fishing legally). Same for my fishing buddies that were fishing legally. The grabhookers and netters were coming out with some major hauls though. I am interested in learning a lot more and trying again next March.
