I was fishing Chickamauga Lake/Wolftever Creek yesterday afternoon and lost a rod to a fish. I was setting out my poles to do a little long line trolling and before I could get my second rod out the first one shot over the side of the boat and disappeared like a launched torpedo. My guess is striped bass or catfish. After that excitement I fished about 3 hours and caught 20 crappie in 4-7 FOW with 7 keepers. Most of the throw backs were just under 10 inches. I caught 6 different species of fish to go with the crappies. It was a good day and would have been even better if I could have landed the one that stole my rod.

Good Luck next time your out, JayW
