a 51 is a monster out of the lake. I have caught fish up to 49 in the river but can't break the 50 mark yet. My best friend on the other had caught a 63 for his first river fish(yes the fish was caught in tenn.) and then followed it up with a 53 for his 2nd. He kept the 63 and released the 53. How long ago was the 51lber. caught in the main lake? By the way to the thought of mounting a 35 out of the river hold out for a 50 plus. I mounted my first fish which was 40 and wish i would have let it go. I have released all other which is about 10 or so over 40. i wish i could fish the river more and my numbers would go up but once or twice a year makes it rough.
