Dr Phillip Gawthrop and I did what we call "combat" fishing below Watts Bar dam this AM. What an exciting 3 hours of fishing. We came away with nearly 100 lbs of fish including a limit of Stripers, and 11 White Bass. I caught a 57", 32 lb Paddlefish that nearly whipped me to exhaustion. Took me 30 minutes to land the thing. It was released since the fish is not in season. One lone Skipjack on the first cast this morning completed our catch today.<br /><br /> emoBig emoGeezer
