After a month-long break from the action (see this thread), Scenic City Fishing Charters is back in action.<br /><br />Saturday I had the honor of escorting Bill Pelfrey and his friend, Larry Hatcher. Bill fished with me in early October and we had an awesome day! What a difference a month makes. emoBig
Saturday wasn&#39;t quite so awesome. However we did not get skunked. Bill and Larry put several quality fish in the boat, and Bill told me before the trip that, &quot;Larry has never caught anything bigger than a bluegill.&quot;<br /><br />We easily broke that curse (SEE: https://youtu.be/AcBlGNCCRsk). In fact, the highlight of the trip for me was when Larry picked up a bowed down rod and shortly said, &quot;I think it&#39;s hung on the bottom.&quot; I took the rod for a moment, handed it back and said, &quot;No Sir. Reel in your fish.&quot; I love it when that happens. emoThumbsup <br /><br />Sunday&#39;s trip was donated to a TWRA Fishing Rodeo. Brooklyn Davis won the trip, and brought her Dad, Jeff, along. Fortunately for Brook, the cats were a little more cooperative than the day before. After we caught some hefty bluegill for bait, she and her Dad did battle with a good number of blues and the occasional channel cat. <br /><br />At one point Brook decided she was going to keep one of her catfish, and release one of her Dad&#39;s in exchange. Watching her try and get the hefty blue out of the livewell (See: https://youtu.be/Uz5SiIqLNVM) was more fun than watching her catch one out of the river.<br /><br />It was a great trip, and one I hope Brook and Jeff will remember for years to come.<br />
