Took my brother out to Percy Priest lake after the Bass Master Classic to dial in my electronics for an upcoming fishing trip. My brother decided to drag around a black and blue Senko on a carolina rig around rock and got a nice 19 inch smallmouth. With it being spring time he drags and hops around the senko pretty quick to trigger a reaction bite.

Mid afternoon and boats circling everywhere. Blue skies but windy. Almost 70 outside. Hammered the TRD craw and swallowed it. Healthy and looks like she had been stacking in the weight for spawn.

I was fishing off a small boat dock at Anderson rd recreation- boat ramp and the smallmouth were biting this morning I caught several on a 3/8 oz chatterbait with perch trailer. It was about 6:00 I caught 2 smallies and a largemouth. Fun before work. They are definitely moving shallow.
