Here is a 40.5lber and a 33lber caught by Eddie. He has been looking for that 40lb fish for a long time, Congratulations Eddie! That 40lber put up one of the best fights I have ever seen. These fish are so powerful it is amazing how hard they fight.

The fishing has been on fire! I have taken quite a few of trips since my last post. We have caught a lot of fish in the mid twenty's and several over 30 with one 40lber to top it off. Planer boards and floats have been the ticket. The next month will hold the same patterns before the falling temps will send the fish on the move to there fall and winter patterns. The fishing right now is some of the best I have experienced all year. Big gizzards and big trout have been the ticket. I have seen some skipjacks lately so they will be my next target for monster striper bait.

I have been very busy fishing, leaving limited time to post reports. Last week we caught some nice fish. On a couple of trips we caught a 25, 28, 36, 36, 37, 35, and a few more in the 20's. The fishing is excellent right now for big fish and numbers. I took some guys out from Western Kentucky on Thursday below Melton Hill dam. We caught close to 20 fish on a combination of pulling planer boards and down line fishing. I will post some more pics later I have to get back out on the water this afternoon. The weather is awesome right now. It has been a very mild August and looks like September is going to be the same. The fish will hold there summer patterns for about another month or so. I look forward to the fall fishing and the leaves changing! I have been fishing with gizzards and trout for the most part this summer. I haven't been able to keep up with the skip jacks this summer. I've not heard of anyone catching skip jacks this summer. I have a few good skip jack holes for the fall so hopefully they produce and the big fish catching will continue.
