Insane day of spillway fishing (Holston River)

[@TravisHaynes-l7n]

I love how , during the heat of the day , this guy anchors and just chills. It totally reminds me of nearly every fishin trip I took with my dad !! He would do the same thing. Nice trip man , you caught lots of different species and many of them !! Never knowing what might be on the end of your line !!!? YEAH , THOSE DAYS ARE THE BEST !!!!! Oh and btw , when you said look at that Giant black crappie , I expected something like 16" - 17" .. That one looked about like 11". A keeper though , nice !!

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Yeah, it’s a classic spot for a good spring bite.

[@EngineeringHooksets]

What a killer day

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

It was a great day

[@DIYBuildouts]

Another great video on the water. Good work.

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Thanks, it was definitely an exciting day to be in Rogersville.

[@BigBaitPosse]

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Yeah, it was seriously fun

[@stevebishop9928]

Wow, hell of a lot of fish speices ther.

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Yeah, Rodgersville in the spring can be prolific.

[@sammyatkins9752]

Thanks for the content. I’m a Kingsport local and use your videos consistently. Extremely grateful. I fish the doe regularly.

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Fantastic, I’m glad you can use the content.

[@meerkat205]

So many different species. Such a fun video to see what was next.

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Yeah, I felt the same way every time I cast. It was really fun.

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Tight lines!

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Tight lines my friend.

[@stevebishop9928]

You rock, pout what you pack in

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Yeah, trying to do my part.

[@brandongilley825]

Looking forward tp coming down to rogersville towards end of april....cant wait....is river up from what it was last year

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

The River are still currently down at the moment

[@ccmusic2249]

Loving the smallmouth action on the Holston (Not to be confused with the South Holston). Any trout to be had here?

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Unfortunately it’s too warm for the trout on that section of the river. However, it is an epic place for warm water fish.

[@ccmusic2249]

@@MichaelKaal-TriFisher Awesome. Many thanks!

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

@@ccmusic2249 No problem

[@xlucim]

I lost count on the fish and the species. Too much fun. Way to go.

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Thanks, it was a really fun time

[@markcline]

A great place to go fishing

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Agree,it is always exciting

[@stevebishop9928]

What is the diference between white bass and wipers?

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

A white bass is a much smaller bass. They get up to 2 or 3 lbs at the biggest. When you mix a stripper and a white bass you get a wiper or hybrid. Much larger and more powerful.

[@dmadams75]

Good morning, is the water up enough for a boat to put in at JS steam plant ramp Very good video, thanks for sharing

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

The water was very low. A few birds were able to make it up there but it’s definitely dicey.

[@nathanielgrindstaff1369]

Could you get a boat up in there now? Wanting to go but not wanting a busted lower unit

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

It’s very dicey, if your boat runs very shallow, there’s a good chance you can make it up, but it’s easy to hit rocks right now. I would suggest waiting until it rains.

[@dmadams75]

Or is this not at John Sevier Steam plant

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Yeah, that’s the John severe steam plant

[@jackiegrooms2557]

bad part they cut waling back at the power plant then tore it down and you cant get back on that other side walking no more

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Yeah, that definitely stinks for all the bank fisherman. That’s too bad.

[@IrishRebel88]

Next week - 20 boats sitting on that hole. lol

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

That summarises literally every spring on Rogersville. A guy just won a professional bass tournament because of the very spot I just filmed on.

[@jaredbailey868]

Really enjoy your videos, did you see any bait up at dam?? And was all those rocks on bank freshly put in??

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Yeah, they just put those rocks in. I didn’t see any shad yet.

[@thekevkev6912]

What size treble hooks do you use

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Owner Stinger-36 Trebles

[@austinbegley4920]

You left your net

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

That explains why I couldn’t find it

[@stripervince1]

Hey, Michael why is there so much water in your kayak? Is that normal? I know nothing about those, seems like it would be quite annoying to get your feet wet constantly. Is a drain plug missing or something?

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

With my particular kayak, if I pedal really hard, I splash a lot of water into the front part of the kayak. It’s nothing to worry about. It’s deafly not sinking.

[@brandongilley825]

WHAT IS THE WATER TEMP THERE

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

I wish I could tell you, I didn’t have any electronics on my kayak when I went out that day.

[@evilnemesis3459]

Where is the boat launch located

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

It’s called the john severe boat ramp.

[@evilnemesis3459]
