Aaron Proffitt (TNDeer's "Puppy") and his Dad, Carrol, made a long drive to Chattanooga from Newport, Tenn. to fish with me today. It was a slow start but as has been the case lately, the bite picked up as the afternoon wore on. It always helps to have anglers willing to hang tough until the fish "wake up." Carrol got the big cats today - 20 and 21 lbs. - but Aaron had a few that were definitely bragging-sized as well. That means life is good and gettin' better every day!
