Undisclosed River in TN

Some states (Indiana, for one)requires separate livewells/stringers/buckets, whatever fish are being kept in, for each angler onboard.
Theoretically you have to stop fishing when you get YOUR limit and cannot add to you partner (s) catch.

Not to call Lupan a liar at all, but I seriously doubt one person caught 3 Browns over 30 inches in a day. Some of the best Caney guys in the state are lucky to catch 3 over 30" in their lifetime. That guy may have caught 3 huge Browns, but not 30+ inchers.

Nobody in the world would complain about 2 guys catching 60 Crappie between the two of them even if one guy got 45 and one guy got 15. The limit is 30 a piece and if two friends go out Crappie fishing, the goal is to harvest 60 however it splits up and they'll split the fish 30/30 if they get that many.

Trout really get people's jimmies rustled for reasons I will never understand so there is an unbelievable double standard when it comes to these sorts of topics.

Might wanna check you regulations again there Jimmy.

Caney Fork regulation on Brown Trout is absolutely 1 over 24 inches. As for the Crappie, that does vary by lake. I said 30 per person because that's the limit on JPP.

04/08 Friday
Spectacular day on "undiclosed" river in TN. Trout out the ying yang. Caught a ton of 14-17 inch fish. Caught one 20 incher. More than I deserve to be sure. It sleeted on us in the morning, covering the boat in ice. surreal. After that it was a stampeed of fish. We found them in a location I had never fish seriously. Piled like cord wood.

04/09 Saturday
Normandy Dam
Caught 12 trout, 7 of them were 14 inches or more bows. Tons of fun. Took a while to find but worth it. Lots of red eyes too. Only fished for 2 hours but a blast.

04/10 Sunday
Undisclosed river part 2. I didn't think we could top Friday but the gods were smiling on us. We tried the tried and true spot first with very poor results. Many stockers- they stocked on Friday- but few quality. Then we returned to our hidden treasure spot. Nothing. then the water dropped another foot. Nothing. Then another foot.... pandemonium! We caught around 40 fish, (2) over 18 and lost two which were monsters. I can not count how many 14-16 inchers we caught and all were bloated to the point of popping. Then as quickly as it started, it stopped. A light switch. For three hours it was furious. I can't imagine every having a day as good at Sunday again in my lifetime. I surely will try but the Lord was smiling on us that day and I am truly grateful for every tight line (some snapped) and mangled trout magnet hook.

Be safe out there and fish that dream.
