Fishing Korea & Tennessee

Got this from a long-lost friend of mine yesterday:

I had some time off in the middle of the week and woke up around 5 and said to myself "Self, you haven’t been fishing in a while!" so I headed off to Ildong with the intent on finding some bluegill. I started at the other cove because of all the growth that occurred while the lake was down. It was about 0620 and still a bit to early for the bluegill so I tied a red # 4 Sneaky Pete on my 6wt fly rod and thought I would see if there where any small bass roaming around in all those weeds. After a few casts I landed a good little fighter that looked to be about 12 inches, I was in my waders and all I had was my phone cam so I just let him go. I caught another one slightly bigger about 15 minutes later and then…while I wasn’t paying attention one hit that ole Sneaky Pete.

I got the rod tip up and set the hook and could feel him going thought the weeds so I let him take out some line (I love fishing with a light wt. fly rod). So after about 10 minutes of playing with him I finally got up close enough to get a look at him and my jaw dropped. He looked big. I finally got him up to the surface and was well rewarded, I’ll let the pictures tell the rest. I had to keep him and he did taste good. (Oh, I did catch some bluegill there as well but then the Ski boat started running and my surface stuff stopped working.
Tight lines….
