BIG Smallmouth!! on Dale Hollow Lake (Nikko Hellgrammite)

Спорт

Went out fishing with Tyler from ReidAngling in late February on Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee. Was able to catch by far the biggest smallie i had ever caught. It was 20 1/2 inches and 4.65 lbs.

    My dad used to make me get up at 5 am to go fishing with him. Didn’t like it very much at the time but now that he’s gone, I treasure those memories more than any other moments in my life. I still fish today but the earliest I get up is around 7:30 am. What I would give to hear him wake me up at 5 again.

I mean, is the helgramite that much more prevalent in the south that fish are more sue to seeing it there?? I don't believe I've ever seen the fly it creates (Dobsonfly) up here so I'm wondering how use are the fish up north to seeing that and if it'll be effective.. I can tell you I'm going to try one for sure..

    Brian Gaskin my great uncle Charlie is the one who started float n fly, when he passed away in 96 his brother Eddie took it over and dialed it in. I have had some extremely good days on south holston with it

    I see you almost always use the same rod and reel whether lake fishing or creek fishing with the yellow line. I may have missed it in previous videos but could you tell tell us what equipment you have the most success with?
