I took my family down to the Old Clarksville ramp earlier today and what a sight. There were TONS of boats putting in and pulling out as the lower dam was running wide open. That looks kind of scary going through that STRONG current seam as most boats were being pushed around like toothpicks in a bathtub as they were shooting through it.


I talked with several fisherman and they've been selling their catches to paylakes. One guy said he caught 40 fish the other day with one being a monster blue that was over 50 pounds. He acted like he sold them all to a paylake owner. This could be a very big problem if left unchecked.


Another person I talked with later on in the day said there's a big flathead hole down around the bridges and they caught thirty out of there recently and sold them. This is a problem folks because the money being paid out is pretty good money according to what they told me. He said one of the flatheads was 52lbs and another one was 35lbs. Crazy stuff indeed.
