That is a MONSTER on any body of water much less Cave Run. My dad just fished there for 4 days this week and never caught anything until yesterday when he had a couple of Greenfish. He even threw them back. He called me this morning and told me that I would have been proud of him for throwing them back for there does not get any bigger of a meat fisherman than him. I told him that I was proud of him. He tried for Crappie the first 3 days and never got a bite. You all must realize that a full day of fishing for him is a couple of hours and he would not run a hundred yards if you guaranteed him a limit of 3lb Crappie or a 10lb Greenfish. Glad that he released the ones that he did.

Awesome awesome fish...

Glad that he released it.

Do you know what he took it on?

Nice fishh!

I'm glad he released it, but I hope it lived. I just have to say I'm not a real big fan of dragging fish around the lake all day and back to the parking lot.

it was caught on a crankbait; the fish was only out of the water for a few minutes as soon as he caught it, he brought it up to the marina at scotts creek for a photo and then released it cleanly...

That makes two over 8 that I know have been caught this spring. There have been quite a few over 6 as well. It took over 20lbs to win our last 7 hour Renegade Tourney on Saturday. The Cave is very hit and miss but when everything lines up for you it can be some very good fishing.
