Rescue at The Dam! (My fishing thrown overboard!)

What started as a laid-back white bass fishing trip below the open spill gates at Chickamauga Dam quickly turned into one of the wildest days we’ve ever had on the water. Brandon and I were out there doing what we love — chasing aggressive white bass in fast current — when the action slowed. So we switched things up and broke out the bumping rods to target trophy blue catfish. What happened next? Unreal. We hooked into a rare piebald catfish — a once-in-a-lifetime catch with a striking, patchy color pattern that made the entire trip unforgettable. But the real chaos started just after that. Brandon lost his balance and fell clean out of the boat into the current! Thankfully, I was right there to pull him back in before things got serious. It was a day of monster fish, fast-moving water, and quick thinking. 🎣 Target Species: White Bass Rare Piebald Catfish 📍 Location: Chickamauga Dam Spillway, Tennessee River ⚓ Techniques Used: Jigging for white bass, bumping for catfish 🛥️ Highlights: Wild boat rescue, rare catfish catch, nonstop action 💬 Drop a comment if you’ve ever seen a piebald catfish or had to pull someone out of the water! 👍 Like and subscribe for more insane fishing stories, river adventures, and unforgettable moments.
