Headed to the lake thinking I will probably be the only one there. Past Wolfteaver ramp and no trailers, then HBSP and I was the only one there too. Started catching a few Whites, called Ben and told him the fish were active. He met me at the ramp around 11. Went looking for more bait balls and started catching more whites and a smaller Striper. The Gulls started diving like crazy , that's when Ben hooked into a good Striper. I was going to help him land it but decided to make a cast and as my bait was falling 1 slammed it! I set the hook and it started ripping drag. Ben is still fighting his while I had a fight myself, We finally landed both fish and Ben's weighed around 15lbs and mine which was a PB weighed 21lbs, That was it for Stripers, headed back into the park and I caught some nice Largemouth, with 1 weighing 7lb 12oz, which was my PB on Chickamauga. Even though it was cold we had a blast. We caught well over 30 fish total. Water temps were in the low 50's. Most were caught on the Rig and some were caught on Silver Buddy and all fish except for the Largemouth were in 15 to 25 FOW.
