It was a cold day back a few years ago, Me and My father was out on the Cumberland River, And We were sit up on a hole that me and Bryan Shrum had went over the week before and I told Bryan the week before that the place looked good on his Depth finder, We fished it and went on past it. However this day would prove to be one of the best day's that I have ever had on the Cumberland.. Me and Pop thru our lines out and just about ten minutes passed and I got a good run and pull in one that I guessed to be around 25 LBs. "My scales failed " I thru him back in and a few minutes later I get a good hit and When I went to set the hook , I drove it pretty hard and the pole came out of my hand and if not for a pole hanging off a rod holder on the side of the boat I would have lost him. I grabbed string and pulled the rod back in the boat and low and behold the fish was still on and he was a hoss.A 50 LBer, A few minutes later I get another good run and pull in another bigun, 34 Lbs. We fished alittle longer and decided that we better quit and get those fish to the bait store and get them back in the water, As we were bringing in the pole I had another big run, But missed him. Both of the fish were released and Swam away..........
