Caney Fork Personal best

[MNfisher]

Since we finally had a decent generation schedule for the yak, I fished the Caney pretty hard for 3 days. I didn't catch a ton of fish, but i caught some decent onces! I had a total of 5 browns over the trips and 2 walleyes. Three of the browns were 16-18", then had a nice 22" hookjaw and also had a 23" FATTIE! It isn't my longest brown from the Caney, but by far the heaviest!

The walleyes were 15" and 21". Thought about Jimmy and Merv as I slipped the 21" eye back to fight another day:D

Caught several stocker brooks and browns before dark. Lost a few nice browns due to them jumping and missed a few other nice smacks also.

I am really getting addicted to these nice browns;)

For those that I got to fish with this weekend! I had a blast, lets do it again soon!

I'm going this weekend and I can't wait, I miss that water!! Awesome bunch of fish you caught man, looks like you had a great time. I really hope they keep that 250 cfs coming through the sluice up through the weekend for me.

Now if I could only get the people from Caney River Runners to respond to my email about booking a cabin for a night...

Those are some nice fish. What are you throwing to catch them and is that a Jackson Kayak Coosa?

[Travis C.]

Nice job Mike.

I am really hoping to get on that water this weekend.

Thanks! Its a Jackson Big Tuna....throwing jerkbaits.

Awesome fish Mike, I'd love to have seen what that river was producing 6-8 years ago.

I remember. Epic is my best description. I never threw jerkbaits, though. I did put a lot of fish on my 7 and 8 wt fly rods...ah, the good ol' days.

I would like to have had the regs now back then but that is just down right being greedy.

[agelesssone]

Awesome fish Mike!

And thanks for at least giving me a thought as you released that 21 inch walleye!

Very nice catches...what did that fat brown weigh in at? Man it was a chunk!

Thanks! I never did weigh it, couldnt tell you!

Man, that's a good catch. I have never been on the Caney at night but it sure seems to have been productive. I certainly like the use of the jerkbaits and that fluke tied on in that one pic is the perfect size and color. Nice job. Thanks for the report.

[CreekWalker]

Good for you, man! Great fish.

You MUST give it a shot! That's the time when those big browns feed. Sure they can be caught in the daytime too but it's not near as likely.

[nomad60]

Nice catches; those are some healthy looking fish!

[Transplanted Sportsman]

Man Mike that brown sure is a helluva of fish!!! congrats on such a catch, them other browns are too!! oh and BTW next time you catch a keeper Walleye include me in your thoughts along with Jimmy and Merv, I'm right up their alley!! sure wish I could catch them like that to be released on lake Crisco :D!!!

[eaglestrike09]

Wow Mike! What a blast you had!
That is a very nice trout!!!

[Dakota]
