Just had a very excited friend call tonight and tell me he is meeting with a IDNR person to confirm that he might have just broken the IA large mouth bass record, he said the certified scale had it at 12.8lbs hope to hear and see more tomorrow, caught in a private farm pond near Anthon. I know I’ve had one on that could have been a 10 very easy, broke off at shore.
Holy cow…keep us updated on that and get us some pics!!

A glove…..hehehehehe
Darrin
Thanks guys!
Luke we didn’t really have anything going with the buzzbait either, had two big blow ups and half a dozen dinks and the one 4lber…it won’t be long though 
What drama are you referring too??
Darrin
Sorry Guy’s, I’ve pretty much dropped the ball on getting this going 
I’m now thinking a little late summer to late fall series for this season…maybe a night tourny at Palo 
I’ll keep ya posted, again I appologize…
Darrin
Sounds like fun VikeFan very interesting on the spot catches……
Darrin
I stated that day tourney’s wouldn’t work for me, I work days. I saw your flyer at Gander and it looks great!
Is a permit required with that small number of boats?

Very cool report and pictures
How close where you to the fish when taking the picture of the fish doing their bus? Just a cool looking pictures.
We were basically right on top of them in the boat….2-3 feet maybe?
Darrin
I appreciate the ideas and concerns I’m trying to iron out some details as we speak. I started this deal a little late, so bare with me.
I’m thinking we shuffle between McBride and Palo.(Not many options in the CR area?) Fish McBride when there is not a motor restriction, we could get in 2 to 3 on McBride and then hit Palo for 3.
I’m totally open to suggestions!

Nice fish Darrin!!
What do you think this cold snap will do to the bite…?
Well Luke, to me, that is a question with multiple answers…..
I think that the answer depends on the body of water you are fishing. Right now we have water temps all over the map depending on the size and location of the lake you are targeting. Small lakes and farm ponds in southern Iowa have spawn to post spawn conditions for the most part, and lakes up north with early pre-spawn conditions.
After looking at the forcast for the next 10 days, I don’t think the water temp will change enough to turn them off for too long. JMO
Darrin
Luke, do you have a boat with a livewell?

Is there a horsepower restriction on McBride? It’s been awhile since I’ve been on the lake. What night of the week?
Yes, there is a motor restriction May 20th til week after Labor day. I’ll post more details when I get home from work.
Darrin
Wipers in McBride?? 6-7 lbs WOW
IHH
Good job dude……….I saw your post on BR

….actually the second pic is from a smaller lake that we hit while we were over that way. We caught 48
