Texas Rig...I watched you catch that one from the TVA side. I was the Bozo in the buggy with the caution light at the fence you showed it to and I had the crane operator blow the horn.



Key to the Steak Plant is the nastiest cold weather you can stand before and just after daylight...after that just fish for Talipia from the TWRA intake up to the barrier and go home.
That's my most memorable fish catch ever! I was soo fortunate to catch that fish. I was using my bass cranking setup so I only had 12lb line. That fish swam under the barrier and 50 yards behind the boat. There was nothing I could do but hold on and let it take drag. After about 15 minutes, I had came up with a plan to put my rod under the barrier so my friend could grab it. As I was doing that the fish just swam back to the barrier and I was able to land it. Unforgettable experience!
