Underwater All-Stars

Now, let's chat about the real stars of the show – the fish! First up, we've got the Albacore Tuna. I know what you're thinking, "Tuna in Tennessee?" Well, not exactly, but we've got some impressive freshwater cousins that'll make you do a double-take. These streamlined beauties are fast, powerful, and a sight to behold when they school up. Best time to spot 'em? Early morning or late afternoon when they're on the hunt.

Next on our hit list is the African Pompano. Okay, so we don't have the real deal here in Tennessee, but we've got some local fish that could give them a run for their money in the looks department. Our native sunfish, with their vibrant colors and disc-shaped bodies, are often called the "freshwater pompano." They're curious little fellas and might just come up to check you out. Spring and summer are prime times to see these guys in all their colorful glory.

Last but not least, we've got the Agujon Needlefish. While we don't have these exact species swimming in our waters, we do have their close relatives – the gar. These prehistoric-looking fish are like living fossils, with long, needle-like snouts full of sharp teeth. They're usually hanging out near the surface, so keep your eyes peeled when you're coming up from a dive. Late summer is when they're most active, and trust me, seeing one of these bad boys up close is something you won't forget!
