looks like TVA is easing back on flows. Only running 42K cfs today, down from 73K this past week. Kudos to Alberto.
Water temps were 76°F. Slight stain (foot and half to two feet visibility). Did most damage on small sections of rip rap.
first fish of the day was 18 inches and hit a KVD splash in a backwater pool.
next fish was the photo fish. black neon Strike King 3.5 TOOB. a little over 21.5 on the rule. getting there. almost a DW Verts fish!

so much slime on the line! not a huge blue, but the photo does NOT do justice to it's belly and how hard it's been feeding. too broad to grab around the head, too wide to get a good grip across the chest.
by now some of you have figured out how much I love tossing the Rapala DT6 in river shad. just works. ;D
as for this blue, yes, I know they are great eating. this one, however, was released for another day.
Thanks for the report and glad you caught some fish. It would be nice if I could see the pictures all that shows up is a big circle with a - in the middle of it. :-\
