9-11 Frogger on the Chick

    I was fishing a club tourney last Saturday on Chickamauga. I drew another boater and told him I had a spot I was confident we could catch some stout fish, so he agreed to take my boat. I'd say he's glad he went along with my suggestion....

    This is Jim's personal best by a LONG margin. His previous PB was 5-11, so he nearly doubled it. He was shaking so bad I was worried for a minute. LOL

    I never thought I'd see a 10 pound fish jump clear out of the water, but as soon as he set the hook all hell broke loose. I'm telling ya, this fish cleared the surface by at least 8 or 10 inches. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. There were 3 teenagers crappie fishing about 100 feet away from us, and they were hooting and hollering and cheering him on the whole time. It was truly an awesome experience.

    I haven't yet caught one this big, but I was so damned happy for Jim it didn't matter. It took him every bit of 2 minutes to land this fish and it hit less than 30 feet from the boat! Congrats to him on a hard-fought victory.
