Tenn. (WJHL) — When Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Tommy Woods hit the water of Boone Lake Oct. 5 hoping to reel in a big one, he wasn’t expecting the 35-lb catch.

Boone Lake Despite being relatively small, Boone Lake supports “impressive numbers of sport fish,” according to the TWRA. Among those are Largemouth, Smallmouth, Striped and Hybrid Striped Bass.
