Tarp walleye …….

[Deer Assassin]

Scenic City fishing charters does it again .
@rsimms has a great team of guides.
We have made 2-3 trips a year since our first trip in 2019. It makes for a great weekend get away.

The 2 guides we are partial too is Sam and Scott
Absolute great people and fishing guides

Feb 1 was our 3rd walleye trip with Scott.
Our first trip was a 4 man limit of 20 in 2023 last year we had 13 but better quality fish.

The water temp was cold and the fish were active early but tapered off
We had 5 walleye 2 small mouth and 20 plus drums
I caught a tarp walleye 28 inch 8 lb female
A tarp smallie
@mikebomb1 caught a tarp smallie and tarp drum

It was an absolute blast laughing and catching fish surrounded by great people

I am going to replica mount the walleye

Awesome catch!

Wow nice haul.

 

[Lt.Dan]

I went with Scott last year. My big fish was 1/4" short of being TARP. Nice catch. Congratulations

 

[DoubleRidge]

Nice! Congratulations!

 

[CATCHDAWG]

TARP Walleye is a tough one. Congrats!

 

[Big Pop]

I catch quite a few walleyes but not near TARP territory yet! Congratulations!

Congratulations! I wouldn't mind a chance to try walleye fishing!

Were you using nightcrawlers, crankbaits, or something else? Trolling?

Good en. I've really enjoyed that fishery being tight lipped but it's getting put out there the last 2-3 and shows

Back when you knew the same 4-5 boats that fished there and a limit was normal everyday occurrence. Now you need a ticket to put the boat in. Anything for a dollar.

When you hum hawed around when you asked each other how you did even though you watched… yep

Great fish! That's the trouble I have fishing down there...dang drum won't leave you alone.

@Deer Assassin Thanks so much for the kind works, and you are correct, Sam and Scott are incredible at what they do. I tell folks that "the fish always have the last word," but you will NEVER find two fishing guides who will work any harder to find you fish and keep your rods bent.

A special "Congratulations!" on your milestone catch! A TARP Walleye in Tennessee is an amazing accomplishment. Scott has had lots of fish 27-inches-plus, but I believe yours is the first to ever break that magic 28-inch barrier!

Thanks for your loyalty to Scenic City Fishing. It doesn't hurt my feelings a bit that I was not included in your "Favorite Guides" list. (I'm sure that was because you know I've mostly retired from guiding myself. I'm the "Colonel Sanders/Booking Agent" for SCF now.)

Capt. Lillie always trolls for walleye with crankbaits... usually lures from Walleye Nation Creations (https://www.walleyenation.com/)
