Several years ago area bass anglers saw the potential and actually lobbied the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency to manage the Tennessee River near Chattanooga for trophy smallmouth bass.
Don't expect "fast and furious," but if you are a dedicated smallmouth addict who lives for the freight train thrill that only "brown fish" can provide, we'll do our best to put you on 'em.
Anglers are allowed to only keep one smallmouth per day, 18-inches or longer. It won't compare to a Dale Hollow or Pickwick, but the folks "in the know" recognize that there are plenty of trophy bronzebacks to be had on the doorstep of the Tennessee Aquarium.
