[King Kong]

 I got to tell one myself, I am a old drum fisherman and we would fish at the headwaters just below Cumberland Falls. So we would go in certain creeks around the area and seine crawdads to use for bait. What we would do is go as far as you could  to where you cant take a boat right when school lets out when it starts to get real hot and they start growling and fish in the center of the river with heavy weights and load the boat. Caught some big ones using that method. Done that for years.

That sounds like some fun right there! Those drums are tough and put up a fight. 

That Cumberland River is one of the prettiest places on the face of the earth.  World class fishing. 

Cumberland Falls was the first trip my wife and I took,  where we stayed overnight.  That's a special place to us both. 

I believe I could live in that area and be just fine 

I live beside Cumberland River, but haven't been fishing. I need some Crappie or Walleye, if you catch too many,

I would love to live near the Cumberland River.  For the fishing and relaxation.  Thats one of the most relaxing places I've been to. 

Used to catch some walleye at Paintsville Lake. That was years back though.  

I need to get up with that one buddy of mine.  Some of the crappie he caught in the Spring was around 15 inches long.  That's some serious slabs of meat right there! This time of the year is a good time to catch crappie. 

One of my cousins fixed some trout that I took him in a smoker one time.  Man those things were good fixed like that!

I'm near where Clearfork empties into Cumberland River. If you ever come this way stop by and we'll have a good meal.

That sounds good,  I appreciate that Dougie!
