Nice !!! (I hope you didn't keep all 17, the limit is 15 ... unless, of course, you had a partner in the boat)

From what I've heard/read on here ... Watts Bar does seem to fish quite a bit different than the other lakes connected to it.

According to the two sows in your picture, it would seem that (barring any major weather changes) they should be moving into the banks in the next week or two. Them girls look pretty plump !!
