We used to catch them in the tailrace below Pickwick Dam in SW TN back in the day. You pull up right into the edge of the boils below the powerhouse. Huge current. We had one guy driver the boat while the other fished. Used cut shad as bait with 3-4 oz sinkers or huge hair jigs. It was a lot like fishing offshore. There are 20-40lb fish in the tailraces. Once you hooked up, the driver would let the boat be carried out of the boils and downstream while you landed the fish. Rinse, repeat. Good times.

Indian Creek has some nice ones. Caught a bunch SLOW rolling a spinner bait. Im sure theyre much bigger but we had alot between 5 and 10lbs. That was fun. Talk about mangle a spinnerbait.

Done the exact same thing in the same place.
ETA: hooked one once that straightened a 2x strong 5/0 hook and another one that broke 70lbs kevlar line.
