Won big fish in a Black Friday tournament out of Flipper's with a giant smallie, I started a youtube channel if you guys have time go give the video a watch!

The water was pretty stained from the rain we've been getting, the further down we got it cleared up a bit... water temp was anywhere from 50-53. All the fish came from bluffs or points, I'm not really a tournament fisherman. I just go out and target the species I like to catch the most. The winner of the tournament had a +16lb bag, 5 fish limit which is just crazy to me... If you can brave the weather, there's good fishing to be had right now! I've caught a handful of +4lb smallmouth on Old Hickory in the last few weeks...
