Surgery went well last week! Should be up-and-moving in a few weeks. Thanks for the support and good luck out there!

Its been forever since I've caught a Northern sunfish, its been so long in fact that I thought they were Pumpkinseeds haha. Learn something new every day.

Yeah, those northern's can look so similar to pumpkinseeds that the IDs are tricky.

Sorry about your injury. Get better soon.

Thanks much! Back is doing better these days.

I still like the look of the Pumpkinseeds, but that hybrid Bluegill was interesting. Thanks for bringing us along on this trip, and wishing you an exceptional recovery that eliminates the recurring pain!

Appreciate that! I've subbed to your channel so I'll be readily able to get some Florida fishing tips when I get down there...eventually.

Northern Longears are definitely in that river.

Hope you heal well…I like your detailed fish descriptions, well done.

I recently bought some bantam sunfish for my biotope native aquarium. I noticed 1 has a few black specks on his body, wasn't sure what exactly it was or if it was harmful. Once I saw the Iowa darter at 4:23 I knew that's exactly what is on my fish! Thanks koaw! 👍🏻 now I know what to treat for 🙂

Great video man.👍love the descriptions of all the fish. Love the music in between too. How do you get those clear pictures on the fish and get them to sit still? Thanks😎

Ah thanks much! For the clear pictures I use my mini-glass tanks and try to get most shots with my DSLR. Glass just offers such clear photos. I made a video on how to make these tanks kzread.info/dash/bejne/rH6Im7V9aNfRj5M.html . As for getting 'em to sit still: If the tank is small enough they won't move around too much. Otherwise, it's about snapping a whole bunch of photos and just nabbing a good one out of the lot.

Do you have a link to the lead-free split shot you use? I looked on your gear page and I couldn’t find it. Thanks!

If you just Google "Loon Outdoors Camo Drops" that'll bring up that lead-free ones I love using these days. They're a bit pricey, but worth it.

The very first big mouth bass you caught was so tiny! Do they spawn upstream and then move out into lakes when they’re big enough to hold their own?

@KNFishingSmarts

Hey Sarah! Usually the bass don't spawn in the small creeks/streams. Typically the adult bass spawn in a bigger water source (lake, pond, river). That little bass probably just came upstream from the nearby lake.
