    Yep, definitely a smallie for the first one. Their color/patterns can vary quite a bit just like largemouth depending on the habitat. Sometimes they are a real dark brown and sometimes they are a much lighter tan with more vivid patterns. Iowa isn't super well known for its fisheries, but there are some great ones, and it is easy to take for granted how much variety there is here. You get a little bit of everything. Some of those northern species like smallmouth, walleye, pike, musky, perch, but you also get great catfish, and largemouth.

    Fished that can four straight years while attending U.of Iowa. Would buy 3 dozen minnows from Fin and Feather and have a blast. Never knew what you'd catch but most anglers go after those hybrids and walleye. You most likely hooked into a giant carp. Probably snagged, happens all the time. Thanks for the update on my favorite spot 30 years ago.

    Yea, our river is full of sweet surprises. Those "teens" that were fishing there actually have a YT channel @TheAvidFishermen. The fishing has only gotten better since this video released with every hybrid Striped Bass averaging 9+lbs and lots of double digits. The fish you lost either was a Double dig wiper or a paddle fish

      Thanks man, yeah I’m not sure at all what the one that got away was, all I know is when it realized it was hooked it started running. It was cut down in the video a little but it pulled drag in long stretches for about a minute and half off and on. A little clickbaitish for an intro but believe me when I say I was the most disappointed to not see what it was lol.

      Lol well hopefully they didn’t eat it then but I’m at least glad they were open to that and didn’t intend to harvest unless they were going to eat. I know that place has to be fished a lot.
