I don’t watch much tv but this is a cool show. A man in Nashville walks into a thrift store and buys what looks like a copy of the Declaration of Indedpendence for $2.48 and it ended up being an original one of 200 distributed in 1823 ended up selling for 410k.
Only 37 found..there’s 163 out there in a thrift shop somewhere? 
Awe crap. No fishing next weekend. FW will have me running around thrift shops.

A little running around wouldn’t hurt you a bit! 
All he’d have to do is drop that flathead and he’d lose 40 or better right there.
…but then you would see my six pack…well I gave up on the six pack. I’m working on a half barrel now.
Palolo, see what happens when a bunch of Iowa people get together?
Start buying storage lockers at auctions!
Those rascals 
Better make it a keg bk 
Or go fishing for channels in the spring here in Iowa and gain 150 lbs in a weekend.

crazy isnt it? Iowa isnt known for catfishing, but there are several places where you could catch more in an afternoon than your boat could hold.
The last tournament I fished, we could weigh in 25 cats.. we brought 75 to the scales and picked the biggest 25. Not bad when 2 guys can catch 75 keepers in 3 hours of fishing.

yes I see..they jack a thread(jk 
)
( hinting for spots ) um so about where were you guys catching all these cats 
Easily nearly every river,or lake in Iowa is loaded with catfish.
There, now that I helped you, please tell me of a thrift store where I can make my accidental fortune.
Please send a pm cause BK is probably surfing this site.
Palolo, let me introduce you to Herb.
Herbs a curmugion river rat that actually helped the lava cool when the earth was still forming. When he’s not in his van down at the river, he’s parked in a walmart parking lot.
He has a very nice mother that goes by the name of Fishing Machine and she stops in once in a while to paddle his hinder red.
Herb, meet Palolo. She’s from Cedar Rapids and along with being a nice person, she likes to fish.
You got that right Herb and B BK, also at times its unbelieveable how fast they hit right in the middle of the day. You take a shaded back water area with about 2′ to 5′ of water in it during prespawn and you catch one after another. At the height of the prespawn 150 lbs from sun up too sun down for just one guy, is a reality fish dittypoles, you just have to get alot of bluegills for bait. Its actually harder to get the bluegills then catching catfish. You have to stand on the bank for about an hour to get enough bait for the day. Load the cooler into the boat plus the dittypoles, then drive the poles back into the bank where you see a good place. Bait them up, then chceck them once an hour all day. When the bites good about a third to a half have fish on them. The averages go up at night and you’ll be busy all night long. If it was legal to sell the fish you get just on 5 dittypoles I could make a living with just those 5 poles, during the prespawn. At the height of the prespawn 30 too 50 fish a day is a reality for two guys with 10 dittypoles. Theres so many channels here in most waters that everybody’d have to be fishing dittypoles to put enough pressure on them to cut thier population, it just don’t happen. Another one of those, you’d have to see it too believe it kind of things. Take a 1-1/2″ bluegill and put it 2′ below a bobber then throw it next to a logjam in the backwaters wheres theres no current and you can catch catfish all day, in the shade, from your boat. The spring spawns alot fo fun for catfish.
Two of us guys fished the Iowa river with two trotlines one night, even after getting there about midnight,,,It took us about an hour to set and bait those two lines and by the time the sun came up we had 42 channels, some up too around 15 pounds with broken and bent hooks all night long during the prespawn here in Iowa, and after they clean out during winter they all taste good.
