First day on TR

[Ktchnbtch]

I'm new to the site so sorry if the pics don't come out right or anything else I mess up.

My son spent his first day on TR yesterday, started out pretty slow with only a couple of short fish in the first few hours . 

Later in the afternoon they finally figured them out and finished with over 30, all smallmouth and spots, the only largemouth ( estimated at 7lbs!) shook the hook right at the boat. The following pics are of my son ( smaller of the two ) and his buddy. Most were caught on crank baits and jerk baits with a few on Ned rig. Best 5 were 15lbs+. Fished a couple miles from dam in either direction.

DChance, I was not there, it was my son, he put in at the dam, ran down long creek first then back up past dam around Indian point area

Nice jag of fish.  His first day on TR?  I just hope he knows that not everyday is like that. lol  Glad to hear a report from the dam area. 
Thanks for the information and congratulations to your son and his fishing partner.

Well done. That's putting a pretty good thumping on them.

Never gonna like a photo that makes me think smallmouth were kept.

Did they catch them in the AM before she started BLOWING?

I try to realize we all have rights to the same resource but I have to agree with Ham.
