White Bass and Wipers on Inline Spinners! Catching TONS!

I love catching white bass and wipers. Hardest fighting fish in freshwater, pound-for-pound in my book. Inline spinners are a great way to catch them when they are active and chasing shad during the warmer months!

Pulled a 12 pound chan today. Pretty excited about the fall lake bite! Not a ton of action, but some nice fish!

[@cisnerosepy77]

awesome videos👌🔥🔥🔥

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you like them!

[@jimmyjoe2311]

I have been using those Blue Fox in line spinners for years. They do catch everything.

[@RiverCertified]

Yessir! Pretty deadly to be honest. Thanks for watching!

[@karma8268]

I caught about 12 trout all more than 7 inches in a pond once all on a blue fox spinner

[@edbrown3047]

I'm hooked on these wiper/white bass videos. I cant wait to catch em

[@RiverCertified]

When its on, there isn't much better. Once you get on a good blitz, you spend a lot of time looking for the next one!

[@edbrown3047]

@@RiverCertified I've been looking into penn reels actually the fierce 2 is one I've been reading reviews on. What one do you have in this video?.thanks

[@RiverCertified]

Either a fierce or a battle. Both are awesome reels, but for the money, the fierce is awesome.

[@rbrADV]

White bass, walleyes, and pike all love Mepps spinners!

[@RiverCertified]

Amen to that!

[@TranNam1818]

Man, your video gave me that "fishing itch" again! A few years back I was fishing on the bank with inline spinners/jig grubs and caught about a hundred whites a little over an hour. No jokes, average one cast one fish! When you find a school and when they feed, the game begins and nonstop action. White bass pretty much hit anything that moves, spins, flashes in front of them. Make sure your lures aren't too big, 1/16 to 1/4 the tickets. Love the whites, they are eating machines and good fighters!!

[@RiverCertified]

Gotta agree. When they get eating, they're really eating! Nice change of pace from the flatheads!

[@kevinleemon5771]

Sry for all the questions. Im just super excited that we have these in iowa. Lived here most of my life and never knew!! I love fishing for these

[@EatnLunch]

I've caught just about everything with inline spinners. I have a bunch of them. In the spring, bluegills and crappies will hit them. I've caught largemouth, smallies, walleye, channel cat, bigfoot, and assorted farm animals with an inline spinner. Those are some big white bass.

[@RiverCertified]

EatnLunch Fishing my inline spinner experience pales in comparison to your's. I dream of catching big foot someday.

[@EatnLunch]

I mean he HAMMERED it. Now granted, it was only six pound test, and he broke off before I got him to the surface to get a look at him. But I’m pretty sure it was Bigfoot.

[@RiverCertified]

EatnLunch Fishing haha eating lunch never kids around. Bug foot is a fresh water fish.

[@EatnLunch]

Spencer is right, though I’ve heard of folks down in the Mississippi deltas spotting a few in slightly brackish water. But yes, primarily fresh water. It’s their opposable thumbs that make them extra hard to land. They can basically unhook themselves, or just break you off with ease. Farm animals are mere child’s play compared to Bigfoot.

[@edbrown3047]

You are a wiper catching machine thanks for sharing your tips

[@RiverCertified]

I get lucky sometimes 😁

[@satidog]

I had a big wiper towing my kayak around the lake last night here in Iowa. I threw a plastic shad into them when a school was breaking around me, hooked this guy, and he stayed with the school for a while, bringing me along. Just stripped line whenever I got him close. These things fight like beasts. I don't know anywhere on the river to get into them like this. What an awesome spot you have. You've inspired me to shop for a few spinners as that's something missing from my tackle box.

[@RalphBarton-fishing]

They looked like some really nice fighters

[@RiverCertified]

Ralph Barton yeah sir. That's why I love em!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Some of my favorite fishing. Can't wait to do it with my fly pole again. That gets crazy. They are great smoked with hickory. Mmmmmm

[@RiverCertified]

I bet they are a blast on a fly rod! I've never tried 'em smoked, but I could see how they would taste good!

[@suimengher]

Awesome vid! Nothing but actions. Man those wipers are insane!. Keep them vids coming.

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks man! I'm definitely trying, but mother nature isn't helping.

[@BigCatRiverFishing]

I’m gonna have to try this method this summer. I just recently caught my pb wiper about 2 weeks ago. They are a hard fighting fish that’s for sure!

[@RiverCertified]

Big Cat River Fishing dude they are awesome! Let me know how you do!

[@WesLovelace]

Likin' the Mepps & Rooster Spinnas 4 just about anything!! Great Where,What,When, & How!!

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed it man! You aren't kidding!

[@sawyerh.2799]

hey nice fish man and great video!

[@RiverCertified]

Sawyer H. Thank you very much!

[@sawyerh.2799]

you're welcome

[@djsenyi]

The blue fox 3/16 rainbow trout inline spinners works the best for me in the rivers of MN for white bass especially in the spring time.

[@RiverCertified]

I filed that one away in case I'm ever in the area. I appreciate it!

[@garysavala665]

Those work great for city pond bass here in so cal . Cheaply made not as good as rooster tails or mepps but they work .

[@jessestanfield-brokencurlo1448]

Well done man. White bass are a blast! caught a bunch this year out of the yak! Thanks for sharing enjoyed it!

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you like the video! Hopefully you find 'em again!

[@EandLfishing]

Love the video! The spinners at the rivers are the ticket. Man do smallies love em too!

[@RiverCertified]

EandLfishing I definitely won't forget that!

[@kjfuell]

Healthy looking fish.

[@RiverCertified]

Thank ya sir

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Quarter oz silver bodied rooster tail with red tail works great too. They tear it up

[@RiverCertified]

I'll keep that one in mind.

[@fishingislife6778]

I would’ve keep all them man tbh they taste so good I caught a sandy this week

[@RiverCertified]

They make a fine fish taco. Thanks for watching!

[@touyang8040]

Man u got into some great action and ur contents even better.. sub

[@RiverCertified]

Glad ya liked it!

[@jasonlittle4049]

What your favorite inline spinner to use I like the rooster tails

[@RiverCertified]

I like blue fox the best. Seem to cast a little further.

[@rakibislam8497]

Where is this location ?

[@ifishcatfish]

Wow. So much action. I have zact same spinner, never caught a single fish on it lol :)

[@RiverCertified]

Haha I don't think I've caught anything other than whites and wipers on them. Well, other than farm pond bass and crappies.

[@juanmobileyt3957]

Where are you fishing it’s fall season white bass fishing

[@RiverCertified]

I'm in iowa. Thanks for watching!

[@juanmobileyt3957]

River Certified where is that what part iff Iowa will like to go fishing there it’s fall season white bass

[@capthookx4233]

Dam look like a fun ass day

[@RiverCertified]

Oh man, I had a blast!

[@manvsdeer]

I had a problem keeping some hooked on top water lures but I think it’s a treble hook thing

[@RiverCertified]

Good chance. You could always replace those trebles with octopus J hooks.

[@SunnyIlha]

That's my best go to lure. I always replace the treble with a single hackle hook and squeeze it down barbless. Now I've rigged a spare heavy 5'6'' catfish rod soft slow action parabolic Eglass with a rear drag IX2000 spin reel with 17lb line. and use the whopper 1ounce rooster tail inline spinner for largemouth and whopper smallmouth.

[@RiverCertified]

That's a good idea! I actually just bought some 1 ouncers for big wipers hopefully. Got an 8' mh for chucking it out there. Thank you for watching!

[@davidfritz2961]

What is a wiper?

[@RiverCertified]

A cross between a white bass and a striper.

[@luongtran7123]

Is that Des Moines?

[@JustinsFishinFetish]

Great video lot of action. I'd have been putting some on the ice.

[@RiverCertified]

Justin's Fishin Fetish thanks for watching! Don't worry, a few tend to end up on the table. I just never keep more than I can eat.

[@Varik.Fishing]

👍👍👍👍

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kouthao4532]

Where is this place?

[@preachthewordpredicalapala3508]

I'm curious too, but this do won't tell us as if we gonna go and steal fish from his secret fishing hole. He needs to repent of his sins and trust in the LORD JESUS CHRIST, or he will perish in Hell.

[@fishingislife6778]

River certified do u think a Pflueger echelon rod and reel can stand whipers

[@RiverCertified]

I've never been a big pflueger fan, but that's just me. It will definitely handle wipers, I just don't know how long you can expect it to last. I'm a big fan of the penn fierce spinning reels, but am going to try a diawa next.

[@wayne10161967]

I've fished Mepps for years and ain't from the north lol. Only downside is they snag easily

[@RiverCertified]

Nice man. Can't argue with the snagging part. I try and only fish em in open water. Thanks for watching!

[@wayne10161967]

Yep. They should start running in my neck of the woods in a week or three. Good luck

[@RiverCertified]

Same to you! We still have 20 inches of ice, so it will be a while for us yet.

[@TyPigPatrol]

Great video! Gotta love wipers, they hit so hard and pull harder. Great channel. Ive got a few big wiper on film, check em out!

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks dude! I already have, really like the content you put out!

[@raalvarez9241]

Ty there’s nothing like finding a school of white bass, pound for pound they have to be some of the most aggressive freshwater fish. And the occasional crappie and largey in the school is a big plus! Love your channel too btw

[@EliteBassStickFishing]

💯💪👊LET'S GO!!!

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks for watching!

[@dak8840]

What power and action rod are you using? Reel size ?

[@RiverCertified]

I built the rod, but it's a 7'2" medium. The reel is a 3000 size Penn battle. It's linked in my description. Hope that helps!

[@dvang81]

....what's the limit per person for white bass there?? it's only 25 here in Mich. (on Great lakes and detriot rivers..)

[@RiverCertified]

I believe white bass do not have a limit, but I could be wrong. Thanks for watching!

[@yeshuaadoneinu436]

not sure that was a wiper. looked like a big sand bass

[@RiverCertified]

What makes ya think that?

[@yeshuaadoneinu436]

The head and lack of distinct broken lines. But would have to see tongue patch to be sure. Wasnt try to be negative nice catch either way.

[@RiverCertified]

@@yeshuaadoneinu436 just curious your thoughts dude. No worries.

[@balla2172]

I'm in iowa also, where are you located abouts?

[@cubbie9499]

how much do u think that wiper at 4:00 weighed at

[@RiverCertified]

Oh probably a couple pounds. Thanks for watching!

[@cubbie9499]

love ur videos especially ur wiper videos.

[@williamc7460]

What do whip taste like. Great videos. Do you no of any starting spots in the far north Iowa that I may find then I live north of Mason City.thank

[@RiverCertified]

They're a lot stronger flavor than walleye, but I like the fishy flavor myself. Not about that far north. I know clear lake has yellow bass which are similar but just don't get as big.

[@hookedonbassncats]

Did you see the Flathead Josh from pig patrol caught. He was saying in his video he wanted to catch one to show you he can catch big flatheads. He caught a Dandy. but his Flathead game ain't quite River certified game. But I like Josh, I watch his videos to.

[@RiverCertified]

I did catch that. He sent me the picture just like he said he would haha. If he wants to travel, I might have to try and get him one next summer. Make sure you comment on his videos his flatheads "are almost river certified" 🤣🤣🤣

[@hookedonbassncats]

@@RiverCertified for sure. I usually comment on his too. He did step up to the plate and delivered a good flathead.

[@kevinleemon5771]

Where can i find lures like that in Des Moines??

[@RiverCertified]

Kevin Leemon bass pro, Scheels, even Walmart has something comparable. I believe all the lures are linked in the video description too. Thanks for watching!

[@TheOutdoorsman]

One of the hardest fighters in fresh water, great video! How long of leader do you usually run? Im assuming you have braid for your main line?

[@RiverCertified]

You assume correctly. All the stuff I use in the description. I usually run a 3'-6' leader. I don't think it is a major factor though.

[@sirronbailey3109]

Is the Blue Fox inline spinner about the same as a rooster tail?

[@RiverCertified]

They're a little different but either should get the job done. Thanks for watching!

[@colinpennington2090]

What exactly is a wiper? Is that a white bass/striper hybrid?

[@RiverCertified]

Colin Pennington you got it dude!

[@dannyortega8175]

That weight is the spinner.?

[@RiverCertified]

I think it was 1/4 ounce. I could get some distance on the cast at least. Thanks for watching Danny!

[@dannyortega8175]

Oh ok thanksss 👍🏾👍🏾🎣🎣

[@westlee1626]

Those are jumbo size white bass :3

[@RiverCertified]

Big time fun dude!

[@rabbitbully1810]

Why do you call them wipers? White bass and stripers?

[@RiverCertified]

Yep you nailed it. We also call then hybrids. Thanks for watching!

[@kevinleemon5771]

What size inline spinner is that?? I cant find them online

[@RiverCertified]

Kevin Leemon have you checked bass pro?

[@RiverCertified]

Kevin Leemon it's a #3 blue fox super vibrax. I think sportsman's Warehouse in Ankeny might have them too.

[@kevinleemon5771]

Thank you. I checkedonline, but they dont have the tail on the end. Is the tail very important? I never knew about wipers until being in Arizona..now i love them. Not sure where in Des Moines im gonna find these fish, but i WILL find them

[@kevinleemon5771]

Any spots u could reccomend id appreciate. Im going there with my gf from canada. Shes never even seen a catfish!! Thanks for the info

[@kevinleemon5771]

Also, do you use a medium action rod, or medium lighr? I got to buy a new pole for my gf. Thnx

[@kevinleemon5771]

Could antmyone reccomend a spot around Des Moines to try and catch these in Sept? Im going to be in town Sept 5-9 with my gf from Canada. Any help would be awsome.

[@RiverCertified]

Kevin Leemon I think the blade is the most important so I wouldn't worry about not having a tail on it. With the water up, I've been fishing the dams with some good luck.

[@kevinleemon5771]

River Certified not sure on lbs test of line you use on ur setup. Doesnt show on line. Would u reccomend a medium rod 7ft?

[@RiverCertified]

Kevin Leemon can't go wrong with 10-12 lb fireline or nano

[@kevinleemon5771]

River Certified ok, thank you very much for the help. Pretty much same thing i used in arizona, except we used sardines there too. They kill live shad or trout lures tho

[@gladegoodrich2297]

A trout fisherman who once in a while accidentally catches a large mouth bass. Every time it's been on a Mepps spinner. Have caught wipers but always on Rapalas.

Des Moines river. Thanks for watching!

[@caljerm]

@@RiverCertified The Des Moines river is great - haven't fished it in years since I was a kid, but every once in a while we'd go visit my uncle in Colfax and he took us to the Des Moines and the Skunk River and we'd catch so much more than we did back in Eastern Iowa in the Cedar, Wapsi, and Maquoketa Rivers. Those Central Iowa rivers are a wonderful fishery and hopefully they stay that way for a long time. Watching these videos has me really thinking about taking the kids to Red Rock spillway. Thanks again for your great videos and tips.
