Haha lots of excitement! Love when they take off and peel the line right out! Tight lines!

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.

Yo vivo aki en coralville y boy a pescar a este lugar compro mis señuelos en find and feather yo pienso que era un big white bass yo saqué uno grande ahí casi 30 pulgadas saludos y bendiciones amigo 😊

Great video man! I love random unplanned fishing trips. The bass looks like a small mouth to me.

Hi from Iowa City! Great video.

Dude that’s awesome that you got to fish up here in Iowa! Iowa has some pretty cool fish in my opinion, weird locations of them too! I once saw a pike: In a pond!

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.

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.

Walleye wonderful eating .. Seriously be extremely careful on the rocks ..

Thats my favorite fishing spot and if you go out there with shrimp you will cach something.also there are roomers of a flat hed so big at that point that you need a chain to pull him in

Do you have an alarm clock on your rod?

Walleye is the best eating freshwater fish ever.

Worked at the powerhouse and was able to fish that part

Never reel while your drag is releasing line. You will put twists into your line.

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

good fishing....few years I fished this place, I only fish and release but seen a lot of my own people keeping them...it's too polluted please don't eat from this spillway....so many run off sewage running into the river OMG! no no no
