Nice! Caught a few in OH but nothing like that. I thought the big girls were below the dam.

Lots of those girls on OH, however you must have patience and target their haunts. I have caught a number of them around the Anderson Road area off the stump rows next to the channel. Super catch SB!

No, I didn't get a length. Did not even think about it until I released the fish. Wanted to get it back into the water.

It pulled like a tank. Then when I got it close to the boat it shot out of the water and I thought I had lost it.

Where is Anderson Road? Is that over by Shutes Branch? If it is, I know where you are talking about.

Great fish!

I have always had better luck on smallies from where the old river channel starts to the Dam.

Great fish. Thanks for sharing what you caught it on. Best part about this forum is everyone's willingness in helping other anglers.

Thank goodness I didn't have 2# test. I am not good enough to get one in that big. I'm no Alphahawk. I'll stick with 10#.

Hey...you know I was just kidding. That is a beautiful fish....it is a beast. Catching those can become an obsession. I really do not target them with 2# test it is just they hang around the areas I am chasing big bluegills.

Thought I was more familiar with Shutes Branch area. Where is Anderson Road in that area?

Sambolie, This just goes to show how old minds think...Avondale access next to Jack Anderson School across Bluegrass Pkwy from the old Anderson Road on Shutes Branch or lane something. Anderson Road is also a campground on JPP around Hamilton Creek area. Don't even get me started on Sanders Ferry and Saunders Ferry both of which are on OHL.
Sorry for my confusion...and possibly yours additionally.

I occasionally fish Avondale off Shute Lane and Shutes Branch on Saundersville Road. Both on OH but on opposite sides of the lake.
I fish Hamilton Creek on opposite side of Anderson Road Rec area.
I am old and confused most of the time. I do feel better now that you have unconfused me. :)

Don't get me started on Old Hickory Blvd and Bell road.
