<br /> Our whopping 3 boat work tourney Tuesday night 6p-2a below Watts Bar was a learning experience since I have never been down there before. We headed down river first and tried some grass with the frog then and I missed a solid 3.5-4 then worked our way up a creek to pocket full of shorts and a solitary 15" keeper. It was dark by the time we made our way outta the woods and we headed up to the lock and made our limit of 3 LM. I brought the Foley just to see if I could luck up with a smallie and all I found were baby stripe, whites, and of all things at night a bunch of skippies and one that had to push the state record who decided to snap my line as I lifted it into the boat. The lock outlet was busting at seams with small threads which I am sure that's why all the skips and whites were there. We then moved to the wing wall and more of the same a crap load of skips, whites, and baby stripes. We were pretty much fun fishing at this point and made one drift down the rip rap and I picked up a stud smallie on my never fail Ugly Otter in Gold Rush on a shakey head. Needless to say we finished 2 outta 3 and barely losing by .05 of a pound!!emoBang <br />
