Didn’t have the best day on Russell yesterday. They pumped water up to Hartwell so all my bank grass was pretty dry. I looked for my fish but just couldn’t put it together. Dropshot and swing jig on rock and marker poles. Caught a multitude of 8”-11” spots, lost two that would have helped and ended up with a bag of four. I spent to much time looking for wet bank grass, should have abandoned that sooner. Middle of the pack finish. PS it was bright sunny and hot AF. I struggled, I finished, I survived chalk it all up to the memory banks and learn from it. One good anchor fish on dropshot in 20’ on marker pole.

This was a rewarding experience. Reelfoot lake is one of the most beautiful fisheries, but it can be so difficult to bass fish. I fished for 10 hours yesterday and only got one bite. I used that bite to target “something different” and it paid off this morning.

Well I got out today. The bite was slow but I was able to catch a few on a jig. My first time throwing it . Started off a little slow but that’s how I roll. 😁😁😁😁.
I have to say you’ll might be hard to catch but it not over yet.

I had a little better day today with 12-15. There’s not many places I live fishing more than these northern rivers for largemouth. I could do this all day everyday and never get bored.

Loaded up to see if I can get some fish on that board tomorrow.. hopefully find 100+ inches so I can be competitive at the king of the ring.. good luck everybody hoping for a frog bite tomorrow but might have to just Texas rig it or swim jig it..

I eventually found a swim jig and Dropshot deal on the James this week. I had 11lbs today. If I can keep catching more fishing I should be able to make the Sunday cut tomorrow. 15-20 bites I’ll really like my chances. If I get like 10 bites it could get weird.

I accidentally uploaded the same fish twice does anyone know if there is a way for me to delete that catch
