Chasing Giant Hybrid Striped Bass & Whitebass in Downtown Iowa City

[@robertmiecznikowski1294]

I caught 5 different species of fish on 5 consecutive casts just down from there at the train bridge. Big Crappie, largemouth, smallmouth, walley and a small bluegill. Catch Musky, Gar, Northern Pike, Tons of good sized channel cats and nice Flatheads and of course strippers. I love fishing the Iowa

[@MadTuning01]

Iowa fucking sucks lmao the river is dried up and there’s barely any cats in the dmi river the only good fishing is in private ponds

[@jakemcmartin1693]

I grew up fishing that spot. 30 plus years. Caught huge flathead, pike, smallmouth. But it was mainly my walleye spot. Got sick of losing my expensive lures so I switched to a bobber with live bait.

[@solomonjacobsen8192]

How many of this can you keep each day? Looks like a great meat haul. Nice work!

[@BillyYangFishing]

No limit

[@txhiajmabyoshavzoov9436]

Wow! You are having wayyyy too much fun! 😊

[@Christian_Edwards]

So do white bass bite in spillways year round?

[@BillyYangFishing]

They should, spillways usually hold baitfish which would make whitebass stay nearby.

[@2a.dubbo.lwhy.fishing40]

Gotta hit up sd.. whitebass hit early this year..already got onto some good times with them

[@BillyYangFishing]

I saw! hopefully I get down there sometime soon!

[@2a.dubbo.lwhy.fishing40]

@BillyYangFishing lol been going out every week and been doing good..hit the lake that u went to last year for that night crappie bite. U should know where!

[@danielxiong4118]

[@jnost161]

[@BillyYangFishing]

[@lokenny2785]

[@Tiger_Slot66outlook]

Wow, what is the limit.?

[@BillyYangFishing]

No limit

[@gtctbbt7730]

Is that the 902 or 901 how you like it

[@BillyYangFishing]

822, I’ve only fished it a couple times but I’ve enjoyed it so far!

[@danielxiong4118]

What is the limits? Is this videos this year

[@BillyYangFishing]

No limit

[@danielxiong4118]

@@BillyYangFishing it's this is the best time for it

[@danielxiong4118]

Thansk brother, I will try

[@scottjones5455]

Got a limit of 5 hybrids here in Fort Worth, Texas this morning. They have to be 18 inches to keep. What is the limit there in Iowa?

[@BillyYangFishing]

No limit!

[@delberttalks4616]

That's a good question. I was wondering if they were gearing up for a 3 day long fish fry

[@juliosdiy3206]

Where did yall stay at?

[@BillyYangFishing]

Super 8

[@jordanyang3066]

Yall should try a top water if there is hitting that shallow. Ive gotten on some crazy schools of white bass with top water an nits the best way to catch them if they're willing to hit it

[@BillyYangFishing]

I tried haha, I bet it’s still too cold but I once we get consistent warm weather I bet they’ll start hitting on top!

[@karenhuntingoutdooradventu3192]

Good job

[@bruce6042]

What size of mimic minnows are you using?

[@BillyYangFishing]

1/4oz

[@BindeeVangFishing]

looks fun

[@BillyYangFishing]

Half the battle haha, snags are the ones that didn’t make the video lol

[@vooslaujchannel2665]

Good job brother ❤❤

[@BillyYangFishing]

Thank you!

[@EyeLoveFishing]

[@BillyYangFishing]

[@jefflien2599]

Nice fish!!!

[@BillyYangFishing]

Thank you!

[@susanyang2176]

Nice video. Where do you park?

[@BillyYangFishing]

University Campus, it’s pay to park

[@Kseriesftw]

What rod length and action is that?

[@BillyYangFishing]

6’11 Fast M+ Action

[@victorchona1134]

What rod are you using?

[@BillyYangFishing]

Gloomis NRX+ 822 DSR

[@masterricecake]

Love that spot and also hate it with a passion lol Snag City for sure.

[@BillyYangFishing]

felt🤣

[@petertinoco6506]

Good catch

[@BillyYangFishing]

Thanks!

[@Deflection]

Nej nuv ntses lom zem kawg 👍👏 😁 ❤️

[@fishingshow5646]

Hi can you let me know where you guys can park your car ?

[@BillyYangFishing]

University Campus parking lot, it is pay to park if you want to fish the side I fished.

[@YasonFishingChannel]

Awesome video!!

[@BillyYangFishing]

Appreciate it boss!

[@vajhawj1234]

where do yall park in iowa city?

[@BillyYangFishing]

University Campus, it’s pay to park

[@ramseyyang6118]

How do you get to that side without trespassing any company around there. Looking from google map

[@BindeeVangFishing]

niceee!

[@Greendestiny4]

Awesome catches! Hope you dont break your NRX, wipers and the strippers you are after are bit big for your rod! Also how can you buy a $650+ rod and just lay it on rocks without a care?? Take a walmart rod instead for that kind of treatment. Hold your rod up while taking out the hook?

[@BillyYangFishing]

Appreciate it! Never had an NRX break on me before so I’m not worried if it can handle it or not. Also I prefer to use rods I’m comfortable with, rather than buying cheap Walmart rods that will eventually break and never use.

[@zajdabneeg]

Baller no need to worry. Break just buy another.

[@BillyYangFishing]

@@zajdabneeg mine have lifetime warranty so I’m not worried about it breaking, if it does I’ll get a new ones for free replacement. The amount you spend on cheap broken rods add up to a nice rod anyways

[@Chriss-d3f]

Bro I want to hit this spot so bad!! Im from Texas, traveling for work but I am staying 2 hours away!!

[@rockynash1193]

what kind of rod u using?

[@BillyYangFishing]

Gloomis NRX+ 822 DSR

[@PNyujsY]

Y not use a heavier rod?

[@BillyYangFishing]

@@PNyujsY its preference, you can either horse the fish in with a heavier rod or enjoy fighting the fish with a lighter rod that can handle them!

[@mabway9201]

Can you tell me the location

[@BillyYangFishing]

It’s literally in the video lol

[@mabway9201]

I don't know

[@mabway9201]

I don't know where I never go this place only I saw all the video I see too many video this place I don't know why

[@markmorgan6840]

[@WildUrbanAdventures]

Fire! Pin spot!!! Haha jk. That’s an awesome spot there. 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@BillyYangFishing]

Definitely fun! Just tons of snags hahaha

[@NguoiongHuong]

What the location show me please

[@myhalfacent7408]

WB are fun to catch but crappies tastes better 😂

[@tomm2444]

thats my spot

[@bradymcdonald3591]

I've lived in Iowa city my whole life. We are surrounded by farmland and livestock. You can't possibly imagine the amount of chemical and fecal runoff in that water. It could be one of the most contaminated waterways in the country. Cook those well done 😬

[@Ctrvue]

How do I fishy? 😂

[@justinbozarth5910]

That place is loaded with 5lb walleyes

[@bigogo7243]

These hybrid bass are all stocked fish. I use to catch hundreds of those baby hybrid up the river some more

[@-vi2ys557]

If y'all learn to catch n release n just keep a few, y'all wouldn't have to travel so far to fish for whites...😂😂😂

[@BillyYangFishing]

traveling is the fun part🙂

[@ecolbechz2750]

Might as well drop a pin. Already overfished and harvested. For shame Jr.
