Tried to put in at Coles Ferry boat ramp this morning but there were so many cars "without" trailers that you couldn't even get to the ramp. Ridiculous lol

Oh man thats kind of my situation. I caught my first big one Tuesday. Was fishing out of my kayak and the first time trying to deal with a big fish from it. As I was reaching down to grab him with my fish grips I saw the jig laying on the barrier. I then had a quick realization that the jig was no longer connected to my fish. I leaned over my kayak and was able to grab his tail as he slipped away. Technically a landed fish, but I really wanted a picture

I really enjoyed the fight though. They are much stronger than I imagined. He pulled drag to the point where I had to tighten it to stop him. Was using 20lb mono. Just looking to catch another big one now asap. I have landed 2 smaller ones this week as well.

Yea, OK... I suck I work 6-7 days a week now; I watch you guys catch fish all day long at GSP. I had a day off last week and I went Sauger fishing on the river and got one bite...so there you have it. When you guys catch fish give us a showing...makes the day go just a little better.

I plan to try my luck in the rain tomorrow as long as the wind isn't too bad. If I catch one I'll hold it up!

I think maybe the low water levels have put a damper on fishing lately, just a guess. I did get out this afternoon on the river (Cumberland) in west nashville, and it was super slow. Seemed like it should have been a pretty good day to fish, but was not. I usually am at least able to hook a few drum in the creek mouths this time of year, but not today. Jigged around for bass, and did catch 2 little dinks, but that was it. I'm guessing they will be biting like crazy on Christmas day-when everyone is busy with family gatherings. These Big City fish are are getting smart.

I'm back to working two jobs. My free time is very thin and when I have the time I don't want to get up early.

Went to GSP on Wednesday, barrier was packed one kayak caught a couple another boat reeled in one then the stripers shut off. Started fishing for whatever after. Feeled the boat with tilapia, yellows, whites, and bluegills lol. About 20 boats in canal everyone was courteous to one another. A pic of our catches

Nice bunch of fish you got there!

All of them, tasty eaters too.

Hushpuppies, white beans, and cole slaw, you'll have the perfect country dinner.
