As spring fishing season kicks into high gear, anglers across Tennessee are hauling in impressive catches, with reports of a 13-pound bass and a 2.95-pound crappie surfacing from various lakes and rivers.
Last Friday, Marcus LaRue landed a massive smallmouth bass weighing just over 9 pounds at Pickwick Tailwaters, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). The catch showcases the potential for trophy-sized smallmouth in the state's waters.
In Shelby County, Colby Taylor reeled in a largemouth bass that tipped the scales at over 13 pounds, further highlighting the exceptional fishing opportunities available to anglers targeting bass species.
Crappie enthusiasts are also enjoying a successful spring season, particularly on Percy Priest Lake. Bobby Joe Lane recently caught a slab crappie weighing 2.95 pounds and measuring 16.25 inches in length, as reported by the TWRA.
These remarkable catches demonstrate the thriving fish populations in Tennessee's lakes and rivers, attracting anglers from far and wide to test their skills and try their luck at landing a once-in-a-lifetime catch.
