I’ve started a lot of these blogs this season telling you that I had a frustrating day. Well, I think frustration went to a new level today here at Old Hickory. I caught 5 pounds, 13 ounces today and I’m a long way from the 50 cut. The worst part was I watched a local angler, probably a 60-year-old guy, catch 17 or 18 pounds of fish, sitting right on the spot I found earlier this week. I hung out for hours thinking he’d leave, but he just kept catching them and he refused to move.

Boyd, that had to hurt:( I couldnt imagine sitting there and watching those fish go in his cooler. It would have put me over the edge. Guess that’s something you have to deal with and move on. But damn, that’s a b!tch.
Good luck today, I’ll be pulling for you.
fish on

How painful! $100,000.00 on the line and a birth into the Classic, and this guy is stocking his freezer. I would have had a stroke. Good luck today. Wack about 15 lbs. and you’re right back in it!
That is a tough break, Boyd. What else can you do, but hope they move on? Keep after ‘em and good luck!

Sounds like he was way over his limit…. did you think about calling the DNR on him and busting him?
Is there a rule against carrying a $100 in your pocket to buy a guy off a spot?
I have to agree with all above, that is one tough thing to swallow with so much on the line. Better luck next outing.
