Got back from Nashville about 1530 today decided to head out to the Riverpark for some Cattin". To my surprise my girlfriend Emily wanted to go. So Kruger got there before us and put my boat in, as we pulled up he was putting around...I wasn't sure what was going on. When we got in the boat we discovered the carpet was soaking wet and Kruger was a little disgusted. Apparently he forgot to put the plug in....great start. Well we got to the dam about 1700 and it didnt take long. I hooked up quick and then Kruger. Then my personal best so far....36in 21lb Blue...man what a fight. After about a 10 min fight on my light tackle, I decided it was time for a break....and then to my surprise I see Emily set the hook.....bam....her biggest fish ever 30 in 12.3lb Blue...man was I proud. The bite never slowed down and we stayed out until about 2100 and headed back. We ended up catching about 40+. Several fish over 7lbs, one 10+lb, and the bigger ones. Im starting to feel bad for Kruger because he is yet to catch his T.A.R.P. cat. We arent stopping until he gets his. We were using boneless chicken breast for bait and a small amount of weight to let the current do its thing. It was a great day to be on the water and I am so proud of Emily!!!!! I think we are going back tomorrow, but I dont think she will go....lol...what can you do?...lol.
