Met with Capt. Chris day before the trip, my wife, son and myself found Chris to be a very personable and positive person.  Despite the fish having lockjaw, even though we were marking a good amount of fish, we found out the reason it’s called fishing and not called catching. Being a long time avid fisherman myself, I know that sometimes this is just the way it is.  We were able to enjoy the local sites from the boat and the weather ended up being much better than predicted.  Capt. Chris tried several locations with similar results. Going much above what was contracted for, Chris actually took us out the following day for an additional try in another section of the lake with “Fishing” being the word of the day.  We were able to see a varied section of Tennessee from the water and got a bit of schooling on the scenery along the way with tidbits of local history thrown in. All in all we had a very enjoyable trip and would definitely seek out Captain Chris for another try for the “Elusive Stripers of Tennessee”.  Thanks Chris for a nice time fishing, (and the “HOT” chicken tenders).
