<br /> Well overslept then forgot oil so after all that ordeal i got on the lake around 10. around 10 Larry called and wanted to tag along so before going back to pick him up hit a hot hole for me and caught 3 in casts and figured Id show him some good deep water fishing.. boy was i wrong!! Well that spot produced no more fish so we ran up river and we hit a spot we over the last month i will stop and never catch many fish but it seems to always produce a 4 &#43; fish and after a few casts Larry sets a monster hookset with a jig and big damn fish comes flying to the top.. He gets it to the boat and man its mouth was huge could have stuffed 2 beer cans in it.. I got the net ready and Larry trys to swing him in the boat as I am screaming at him LOL.. the Fish jumps higher then the top of my boat and I just barely missed scooping him in mid air emoHoppingmad .. Was in shock would have loved to put a weight on it.. Was easily 5&#43; and could have been as much as 6 1/2 was a big fish... Glad to see the spot is producing good fish and best part of it is do not think I have ever seen a boat on it.. Found it with the map and depthfinder.. So that jinked our day and we couldnt sniff a bite.. We tried flipping some heavy brush with no luck then headed back to Soddy and fished a community hole where I boated this nice fish in 30 feet of water.. Probably little over 3 lbs.. Wind picked up so bad trolling motor on 3/4 power wouldnt even keep us straight(got 74 lb thurst on 16ft boat) so we called it a day.. Lest we didnt get skunked and the two fish we did catch were good ones.. well one fish I caught larry just beat his up against the side of the boat and turned it back LOL emoLaugh emoLaugh <br /> Good fishing with ya Larry next time we will take the old venture and see if you ever get the right prop.. James said he hopes you do so you will quit bothering him emoPoke emoLaugh <br /> <br /> good to fish with you wish we did better but hoped you learned what little i know about deep water fishing..<br /> http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq341....jpg<br />
