Mr. Hawger Dawger was back out there today!!!

Had Roger back out for a trip this morning and as always the goal was to catch a hawger dawger, and that we did!!

We started out on the schoolers and didn't get a ton of size, but Roger did get a striper! We made a move though and the big striper decided to start eating! It is not every day we get multiple chances at these guys on light bass tackle, but we had 4 or 5 chances and landed 2 of them! They are special fish and nothing beats catching them. Only wish we could've gone 5 for 5, but thats reaching on this tackle 😂

After the morning bite died we ran around EVERYWHERE trying to figure them out and simply just couldnt. Around 1 we made the right adjustment and the bigs started eating again! Anchored by Roger's biggest bass of his entire life!! I had just caught a good one, and told Roger to throw in right behind me and he got her. Truly a special special fish and a new PB! There is nothing better in my job than watching people hold the fish they chased for a lifetime, especially someone who has become a good friend. I promise he was excited, he just couldn't stop staring 😂😂 Roger thank you so much for coming out sir. It is always incredible.

For the afternoon, I got to have my momma out for her annual color trip! The leaves finally started to turn, so we had to make it happen. We also OF COURSE had to make our stop at river drifters. This woman is truly the best, and I cant thank God enough that he chose her to be my mom. Love you Momma!

The bite will continue to go nuts as it gets cooler, so reach out!

Had a busy weekend, so I'm just getting around to posting Fridays trip!

I had Gordon out there again and this time he met his brother Brian and his nephew Jonah in Chatt for a trip chasing some smallies!

We caught so many fish! The bite was good from the get go, but we had to work a little harder for the bigger smallies.

For most of the morning Gordon was hogging all of them 😂. He had been out with me before, so he understood the patterns we were on a little better, but once the other 2 got going it was a catch fest!

We spent the last hour or so chasing one of the right bites, and Jonah finally got his chance at a big one and he did not waste it! He did an incredible job, and landed a big ole smallie to be proud of! Not long after that Brian got one as well. It was a great ending to a fun day with some awesome guys! Thank yall a ton, cannot wait to do it again!

Man what a fun morning we had out there!
Had a family of 4 out there, so Westin Moss agreed to help me out again and we got after them!

Casey reached out to me to book a trip for him and his family when they visit Chattanooga. None of them had ever caught a bass so we had to change that today!

I had Casey and Aden with me, and Westin took Thomas and Tanis with him. Everyone had caught a fish within a few minutes, and we spend the whole morning catching some healthy ones! Its always so fun to watch people learn new things, and trips like today are awesome when people get to catch their first bass. They get to see why we all love chasing these fishing!

The fall bite is ON!! I have select few days open in November, so reach out to get them booked and let's go catch a ton!

Westin thanks man, its always great to have you out there!

If you've been following my page today you know you know we had a crazy morning! It was one of the best days we have had out there this fall, snd the weather was perfect!

I had Ben out there with me this morning and they were munching! We started out super fast and had 17 lbs by 9:00 AM, and the bites kept coming all day!

We went scoping for a while after that and we're finally able to find some active fish that would eat a minnow so that was a ton of fun! We got into some big ole spots!

We got into the current for the last couple of hours and culled up to a BIGGGGGG bag! Added a couple of big largemouth, and Ben caught potentially the FATTEST smallie I've ever seen! It should weighed about 2.75 and it weighed over a pound more than that!

We ended the day with a 48 minute long fight with the biggest sturgeon I've ever seen! We got to see her a couple times, and I got a sweet video of her fighting on livescope! Sadly she won in the end, but I posted that fight, so go back and watch it!

Reach out and let's go chase em!

Bad Steve!!!! 😂😂

Had Steve out there this morning and we had an absolute blast. He always comes out to try and learn things. A couple of times ago he learned the hard way not to grab the line to stop the fish from running. Today we were talking about that and agreed it was like training a puppy, so every time he would move his hand toward the line I would stop him with some form of command 😂. We got a kick out of that for the whole day.

The fishing was phenomenal this morning. I've got photos from my trips earlier this week that I've been lazy in posting, but I will! Today was probably the best morning of the week. They bit from the very first cast to the last.

We started on the schooling bite and did pretty good, but it fizzled out a little quicker than it had been. We switched up a little and found the ticket! We probably didn't go 10 minutes without a bite all morning, and we caught some good ones! These fish are starting to fill out and it is about to get cold. I have days open in November that you do not want to miss!!

Steve it's always a blast sir. The fishing yes, but mostly the conversation. Thanks for coming out to enjoy a day and can't wait for next time!

Had Tim and his dad Jeff back in town today and we had a great time!

It was a great Friday out there for us today. We started out on some green fish and were able to catch some really good quality very quickly! Tim got us started early on with a tank! We kept that going for a bit with everyone getting in on the action. It was a great way to start the day!

We moved on after that slowed down and went chasing some brown fish. Tim has historically always gotten the short end of the stick with the big smallies, but not today! We had just talked about how they should be getting into some of the more fall patterns. Tim set the hook and was snagged. He handed it to me to get it free, and when I took it the bait popped free and got smoked. It was a tank smallie 😂😂 it was so awesome to see!

Later on Tim also got a gigantic white bass and then his first ever striper! It was definitely his day as far as the quality went, and he also got the variety too. This bite is really starting to get going and I'm super excited!!

Yall thanks a ton for coming out. It was a blast as always!

Got to take out Mrs. Chattahookem as well as little man again today after a cancelation. The weather was simply perfect and we had an amazing time!

Little man was so excited to teach his momma how to cast and reel them in and he couldn't believe that she already knew so much haha.

She reeled in the fish they are holding together, then got to learn that all fishes belong to Titus lol. The eagles also have us a show all morning!

It was just a precious day in the middle of busy season to slow down and take them out. They're both so beautiful 😍
