danny I grew up fishing Big Bone lick on the mighty Ohio out of a coleman crawdad. John from then dixie sprting goods put on a thurs evening 4 hour deal. Me and my partner bought and paid for our next boat (small jon with 10hp ) after winning 18 in 2 years. When my current club now fish Barkley I can drop my troller after a 2 minute run and fish all day with out running. just all depends on what and how you fish.
