I would have to credit all my fishing knowledge and fishing and hunting craze to my dad. He passed this genitic disorder call fishinitos on to me at birth..lol Anyway, he learned to fish at dale hollow too woody, from one of the greats, Fred McClintok <--- Spelling) He has passed everything on to me that he knows. One of my most memorable times is when I took him fishing in 2004 ( which im only 23). I had been reading and hearing about this fnf thing so i went to laurel and taught myself... Absolutly LOVE it. My favorite kind of fishing, besides jig and pig night time bite at the hollow. Anyway back to the story, In 2004 we loaded up and went to The Hollow. I Finally got to show him a technique that he didnt know about. I landed a 4lb 9 once smallie right off the bat, right in front of Bobby Gentry at hendricks creek boat dock ( first point on the right at the no wake markers. Bobby had two clients in the boat saying " man there bitin today...lol... Well we went up the bank a lil more and my dad caught one 3 lb 6 onces on fnf.... Needless to say he is hooked now. It was like one of those times when the dad is proud of his son. It was like a reverse role..lol Till this day we still fnf fish.. Ohh yea woody im the guy right beside the big fish picture on floatandfly.com we caught both hogs the same day... man was they bitin..lol Get better and we will drown some flys this winter... i changed jobs and got some days off now. We can use my boat. Sorry to everyone i havent been posting reports on dale that much but this year alone from jan 1 till now, my dad and brother and I have caught 127 smallmouth 2 pounds or better out of dale hollow. I have caught 24 smallmouth 4 + pounds with probably 7 or 8 of them being over 5 this year.. It has been a very great year and it has just slowed down the last 2 or 3 weeks. Man I cant wait untill Fnf, i just hope I havent used up my catches...lol Gotta leave a few for the fly... Best wishes to everyone. As soon as I get all my pics loaded up to the computer off the digital camera I will post the better ones...
