There is a reason that I am the Drumking! I caught 7 today. Dr Phil caught 2. However, what we had hoped to catch was a limit of Rockfish. Very first drift after arriving up there this AM, Dr Phil made a cast and after a short drift, set the hook and played and landed the only Rockfish that we caught this AM. We fished about 3 hours and totaled 9 drum, 2 Catfish, and 2 boat paddle White bass that we forgot to take a pic of. emoBang <br /><br />We weighed the 2 biggest Drum that I caught and they were 19 lbs 5 ozs and 18 lbs 3 ozs. Dr Phil&#39;s biggest was just over 14 lbs. I also hooked up 3 more fish that pulled off and according to my boat rule, they were identified as Drum. emoBang Phil only had one hookup that pulled off. <br /><br />Water temp had risen to 52.9 and TVA wasn&#39;t running as much water as they did on Sunday. I need to go check the flowrate and see what it was today. They did increase the flow at 9:00 AM to probably near 45,000 CFS. Again, I will check to confirm. <br /><br />OH, BTW, Dr Phil&#39;s lone Striper weighed 13 lbs 15 ozs. Hard fighting fish. We were off the water by 10:30. Dr Phil had meetings this PM.<br /><br />I checked the flow rate and WB was running about 21,000 CFS and at 9:00 stepped it up to 25,400 CFS.
