Now that the spawn run is just about finished for this season, I can file my report.<br />You see guys, fishing & hunting are a lot alike.I just can't bring myself to tell anyone( almost,I did tell one great fisherman) about the big eyes being caught the last 3 months, or where I saw that 12 pointer chasing does, not until I get my chance at 'em. After I've had my shot, then I can tell.<br />Well here goes; one over 16 lbs, not me, several dozen over 10 pounds, I got lucky once, and limits were plentiful, especially for the guys out of Hawkins County. I saw several given away and we recieved 1 fish over 25 inches from a guy who had his slot limit, and Walker got blessed twice.<br />Several 19-22 inch sauger were caught, and a whole lot of small mouth.<br />My freezer is full and I DO have a pool side cook out every year.<br />Now it's time to go star gazing and load up on some more "lake steaks".<br />Now don't get me wrong, I do crappie fish, but one "eye" can equal a limit of specks, as far as fillets go.<br /> I like to feel that, peck, peck from crappie, but that THUMP is what counts, when he bites and when your rod pops the side of the boat.<br />My best so far over the 26 years of "eyen', is 36 inches, and I'm sure there is a 40+ out there just waiting to Thump me.<br />Thanks for reading, and have it your way. emoCool
