Knoxville. That ought to be a money fish right there. Are you on the leader board?

I don’t think it would have made big fish of the day but it was my biggest so far this year and a toad on the 6wt.  Lost another giant and caught 3 or 4 more 2 pounders.  I hope iconelli pulls ahead tomorrow.  He had a good day two.  Crappie were on fire today for anyone looking to get after them.

C'mon man, bear down. I don't have any feel at all for bass fishing but I'm all about crappie and cats, mostly because you can be none too bright and still catch either one. Been looking hard at Reelfoot Lake on the other end of the state for this Fall. Still have my ice fishing gear ready but I think I'm just kidding myself at this point in the season. No heart.

Same here.  I was checking basstrack while I let the fly sink after a cast.  You probably didn’t notice me out there because I’m in the little known shore fishing category  ;D

Yes.  Usually the public waters nearby have bigger bass.  This was probably my biggest from this lake/pond.

I'd starve pretty quick fishing for money. Every bass tourney I've ever seen looks like uphill work and cut throat to boot. Guys zipping a plug past the other guy's ear on the backcast and plenty of salty language. Kind of a Nascar intensity. Didn't know they had a division for guys to bank fish a pond with a 6wt fly rod. Don't sound too bad. You coming home decked out in sponsor decals?
