Chickamauga Lake Blues

It sure is nice when you've got a professional photographer to go fishing with. Headed out on Chickamauga Lake this morning with John Sloan, an outdoor writer from Lebanon, TN, plus a revisit from a previous client, Wendy Williams. John always brings me a tacklebox full of good luck when he comes down. I'd also invited folks from our local Chattanooga Fishing Forum to help in our search for some "picture fish." A bunch of 'em showed up and sacrificed ;) their time to go fishing on this glorious day. I hope everybody had as much fun as we did. Tileman came up with our biggest "picture" catfish at 35 lbs. EricM crossed the eyes on a 5.5 lb. largemouth.. but I think just about everybody put some nice fish in the boat. We'll let the pictures speak for themselves. http://www.ScenicCityFishing.com

Barry Langstaff (a.k.a. Tileman on CFF) releases a a 35-pounder. The fish may not look that big but Tileman is a BIG man.
