FishnDave Posted May 23, 2023 Author Posted May 23, 2023 Went to Iowa this past weekend for my daughter's wedding. Wanted to catch a Pumpkinseed Sunfish while there, since they aren't in Missouri. The first place we tried was weed choked and nearly impossible to fish. Tried a different pond nearby and caught one! Species #59 on the fly rod this year. nomolites, Ham and BilletHead 3
FishnDave Posted May 23, 2023 Author Posted May 23, 2023 Also caught some big bluegills while in Iowa. A half-dozen or so were 10" or better, with the biggest one being 10.5". Also caught some bass. nomolites, bfishn, Ham and 2 others 5

FishnDave Posted May 25, 2023 Author Posted May 25, 2023 Friendly serpent....swam straight across the water right to my feet. A few minutes later I saw it giving a dead carp a big hug. So kind. Then I thought, MAYBE the snake is trying to give the carp CPR. Just in case it was the latter, I phoned 911. They refused to send help, since neither the snake nor carp had insurance. Ham 1
