Nice spot, way to stick with it!! Those things are like tuna, just roaming open water chasing baitfish.
Well my two fishing partners both caught the biggest fish of their lives tonight after work. The largemouth was 21” with a good belly and the smallmouth was 20.25”. I caught a mere 18”........ the current is raging and the fish were caught with Texas rigs. They used worms I used the menace. Water temp around 72. Great evening on the TN river
