Me too!

That's very cool, I thought the largemouth record breaking years were behind us in Tennessee since Chickamauga has been on a slight decline lately. It's even cooler that Chicks little sister Nickajack produced the record.

 

[Popcorn]

Dang!

 

[nso123]

There has been lots of talk about Nickajack being better than Chickamauga due to less pressure from the tournaments. This will fix that.

 

[WTM]

cool

 

[Lt.Dan]

Throw it back, let it grow another year

I've caught one 8lb bass in my life. I can't imagine what it would be to catch a record size fish.

 

[CrossVolle]

It makes sense. as much grass as chick and less pressure. Until now lol

 

[buckbstr_1]

Wow, big fish!

 

[Crow Terminator]

Most of the bass guides I know have been going down there instead of Chick for a while now...at least a year.

 

[CrossVolle]

The good thing here is hopefully it will relieve some pressure on Chick and allow it to recycle.

 

[ttfreestyle]

Yea they are pressuring fish at nickajack something terrible, have been for couple years now.

Isn't Chickamauga the lake They do early season tournaments on and get 45 pound five stringer fish?
Or at least they used to

Not anymore. Yesterday's big tournament had something like a 25 pound first place. Back in the day Rogne Brown had one over 50 pounds.

There was also a 33lb bag weighed in yesterday on Chickamauga.

They have so many tournaments you can't follow all of them.

That's a fact!

 

[ttfreestyle]

Hard to find a spot to fish at chick lately, every slough ya pull into will be packed.

In a tournament?

 

[mayberryrick]

Yes

 

[Sitsbytree]

I used to fish both Nick and Chick. As I get older, I'm preferring smaller boats and lakes. I spent most of my lake time on Bedford lake last year in a kayak. May get a jon this year.

i don't eat bass, and wouldn't spend a penny to put one on the wall either. i did catch a smallmouth years ago at the steamplant at Rogersville that was a bit over 26" long. memories are all you get to keep...

When I caught that 8lb bass there was no such thing as cell phones and handy cameras.

i still don't have a cell phone. i lost my last waterproof camera turkey hunting a few of years back. it had nearly 500 images in it of turkeys, deer, my older (now deceased) brother, camping trips etc.. i'm still not over that loss...

Yep. Tough to even take your kids break fishing without getting run over or crowded out. Not a peaceful spot on that lake anymore

I get that. Was it a digital camera? Do you have any idea where you lost it? I would come help you look. I have a couple metal detectors we can use.

2nd place in that tournament was 29lbs with a bf of 9 something. The 33lb bag didn't have a fish over 7.5 lol
