   Stewart, great post. Perhaps you will enjoy this read too! http://www.freewebs.com/avsme/

   Jason, I’m glad you enjoyed your day on the river. It must be a real treat to get paid to do things like that. Good for you! WNC is a great place to be!

   Technically speaking, that’s a "Very Smallmouth Bass"

   Mercury. One reason I do not eat anything out of the French Broad. It never goes away, either.

   Dr. Sylvia Earle, one of the world’s leading marine biologists, said, “I never eat anyone I know personally. I wouldn’t deliberately eat a grouper any more than I’d eat a cocker spaniel. They’re so good-natured, so curious. You know, fish are sensitive, they have personalities, they hurt when they’re wounded.”

   "Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight." Albert Schweitzer

   Further up toward Old Craggy Prison you can find Large mouth bass if you are looking for a nasty fish vs man fight! Summer fishing on the French Broad awesome times!

    I’m sure you learned small mouth bass are fun to catch, Jason, especially with light-weight tackle. They certainly are scrappy little fish! I can’t wait to hear more about your adventure.
