Cumberland River 9-4-16
 
Deezelteck and I took my dad down to the Cumberland River for some smallmouth action Sunday. We threw creature baits and cranks, biggest fish came off a custom painted wiggle wart that now belongs to the Cumberland River 😢😢 We caught a lot of fish, my dad couldn't catch anything but drum lol but we still had a good time. No big smallies, but there were some really nice largemouths caught. I really needed that big bass to boost my confidence, it has been a struggle since May!!!

Nice! Looks like the current was pretty low. Good call going below the dam.

There was one gen running. The bite was pretty steady and often. There was a lot of missed and lost fish.

I've had the same luck down there lately. Catching alot of fish but no big Smallies. We need 2 gens and cooler weather, those bigguns will show!

Nice fish! .. great photo, ... (custom painted lure) - man I would have spent some serious time trying to get that rascal back :cool:

We used a lure retriever, but it still broke off. I was ready to go diving.

There was a lot of time spent trying to get it back. Had we not been in the river I probably would've taken a swim. And it wasn't just a custom painted lure...pre rapala wiggle wart!!!! 😢http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a19396b9bc.jpg

That's a stud right there. Haven't seen a fish like that in a while. I bet that wart is expensive

I know how you feel when you loose a treasured lure ..BTDT .. sounds like you fella's didn't give up to easy ... Lately when I get one snagged I have been using just my launch rope and snap hook to retrieve 'em - been pretty lucky the last few years.

I had 5 painted at the same time by a guy and I'm wanting to say it was $8/each to have painted. I already had the wiggle warts. I have quiet a few of them actually. And if I had bought the warts and had painted, probably would've been a $25-30 crankbait!!!!!! But that little chartreuse wart was a special one. It has caught a lot of nice fish.

I have a lure retriever that works great and has saved me a lot of money!!! lol. But 1 out of 25 you're gonna loose if you're fishing the right areas! Price of fishing.
