Fish can be caught on Cumberland. A friend and his boat partner won the Crappie Masters Lake Cumberland event Saturday plus big fish. The big fish weighed in at 1.82 lbs. The 7 he could keep weighed 9.95 lbs. He told me that his boat caught at least 60 keepers which was weeded out to 7. I don't know where or how they did it. I caught 3, 9 inchers Friday morning. So i have no advice. But we cant give up. We've just got to go and try.
