A buddy and I went fishing in the riverboat this afternoon from 4pm-8:30 around crooked creek. I caught this fish within 5 minutes of starting fishing:



That fish was a solid 3lb. We went across the river and I caught this one which was 5lb:



Both were caught on crawfish pattern wiggle warts. We went across the river again and I caught a small smallie and another largemouth. Then he boated his first fish(I was getting worried at this point, it had been 2.5 hours) :lol:



We fished there a little more then went in crooked creek and he caught a real nice spotted bass on a rapala reddish shad rap:



We each caught a few more small fish then I caught this nice smallie on a PB&J jig and craw:



Had a great time, even driving WOT through the fog up from Crooked creek to rim shoals. The look on his face was priceless when I said I haven't been up that way before :blink:

We were fishing 2 miles from Rim Shoals, so probably about 25 miles from the Dam. Water temp was 61 degrees in the river, and 84 in Crooked Creek.

Nice catch. Love the river fishing for smallmouths. I need to take my son up there and do that. He has never been. I think he would enjoy it.
