Well, it was 8 1/2 lbs.  The bass was 6 lbs 1 Oz.  Short fat one 19" long.20241019_180231.jpgIMG_3074.jpg

Did Pickwick Lake on Sat.  Water temp still 70 and shad balls at 5' deep in middle of deep coves.  Nothing showing under them.  Several shorts, couple of 2-3 lb smallies, several large drum late before sunset on cranks.

Nice fall day

Never have caught a drum on a crank.  That would be fun.

Flicker Shad size 6 white with black back and spot on side....

They started hammering them about a half hour before sunset that nite.  They were bringing units online and water was coming up.

That’s a toad!   Nice one 👍

Green pumpkin orange flake tender tube.  Buddy backed off the trolling motor to tie a lure on after a breakoff.  I took over the front and dropped it off the shelf point we were coming up on.  Just mouthed it and started swimming.  I gave it nudge and he took off and set hook himself.

Went down to fish with him on his birthday and ended up putting the hurt on him all day.   But, as usual, we had fun.

Looks like I was a little shy of the 54 lbs 8 oz from Nickajack in 72.

Maybe there is a Flicker Shad class for State Records.

That sounds awesome!  I’ve always wanted to drag my boat to TN and hit some of those tail waters.

We had talked about running down to Wilson in Florence Alabama for his birthday, but that did not work out.  Supposedly the fish are bigger and better at Muscle Shoals.

We never had a chance this year to hit Nickajack or Chicamauga this year together.  He is going there this weekend with another friend.  See how that goes.
