June 2015 – Photo Contest Winner

Cameron Jackson and his best friend , Jeffery 1Cameron – “It was June 29th, 2015 , we were getting ready to pack all of our stuff in the truck, getting ready to go home . We had been camping all weekend . My friend and I fished from Friday night until late Sunday night, only catching a few brim and drum . So I decided to put out 2 limb lines and baited them with small brim … So on Monday morning, while we are packing up , Jeffery and I went to check the lines , one was empty , and on the other , it looked like it was hung on a log or something , so I started pulling it in by hand , and realized it was a fish . I told Jeffery to hold my phone . So I jumped in the water and got the fish so the line wouldn’t break . We took it back to where our campsite was , which was only a few feet away . We weighed it , and it weighed 42 pounds .. Being the true fisherman I am , we turned it loose, back into the Tennessee River . That’s one day I’ll never forget .”
