- This place can really be feast or famine, just like a lot of dams around the country. BUT, when it's good, it can be REALLY good!

I found this channel a week ago and I swear I'm addicted to wanting to start catfishing now and hitting up every spillway in America!
We used to have Philippino neighbors. Those folks loved fishing and as a kid took me out quite a few times! learned a lot and ate a lot of good food too
Sounds like they made your childhood just a little more awesome!
@@RiverCertified no doubt man
Awesome episode!! My grandpa used to always say “heeeeeeeerre they come” when my cousin and I would swarm in to his spot when he was catching and we weren’t haha
That's awesome. Fishing with grandpa was always my favorite. I cherish those memories.
I live in Pella and I’m glad you had a great time down at Lake Red Rock
I love watching you knock em dead out there in central iowa. I live in the same area and rarely get a chance to get out and fish like you do, with even half the luck!
Fishing a lot helps ya stay on the bite for sure. Good luck when you get out there!
Looks like a blast. Can't wait to get back there. Congrats on some great fish. Digging the new rod and homemade tackle.
It was a dang good day. Good luck when you do! I love tackle crafting!
Nice fish and Drastic Plastic has some very nice baits
Thank you sir. Agreed, they make some great baits!
That was fun to watch man.
👍👍👍
Me & my wife enjoy all your videos.
So if you see that Fey liked your video that's us in our livingroom usually after dinner.
Any way great job bud.
That's awesome you both enjoy watching them! I really appreciate it!
Wow! you are fortunate to have such diversified fishing in your area. Awesome video again. Thanks for sharing and making me jealous again!
I put some miles on the truck to do it, but its what I like to do. Glad you enjoyed it!
Caught my first wiper today. Got home cleaned it and now get to watch the new video. Thanks homie!
Awesome dude! They fight like crazy don't they?!
They sure do. Didnt do any crazy runs but it took me a good while to pull him in
I really hope we can see the water levels that high again soon! Another great video at the ole hidden gem!!
I hope so too! Looks like the recent rain helped a little.
They have to be one of the greatest fish in America. There is no doubt in my mind I would have fell in the river where you were fishing.
Gotta give yourself a little more credit haha. I agree on them being the greatest fish in America. I can't get enough of them. Been tough this year with low water to find them.
Man you tour those hybrids up! I really like that spot you were fishing at! Great video as always keep on doing your thing big dog!
It was a fun day! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Lol!!! My hands were sweating. You were juiced. As you should of been. Amazing day. The huge one fought like a champ. Good job. Today was a GOOD day.
I get excited about those things too😁 Glad you enjoyed the videos!
Dude my heart was pumping that whole fight....good stuff brother
It was a whole bunch of fun dude!
Great video, Spencer! Lots of action at Red Rock Dam!
A whole lot of fun!
U just gave away the spot
I have fished Wapello and Rathburn the Mississippi and the Rock river really miss the midwest. Love your hat.
It definitely has its perks. Go Cubs!
Looks like the neighbors are tired of netting your fish if you're just going to release them, but in my opinion we need more fishermen like you.
I understand haha. Thank you for the kind words!
New rod looks like a winner! What a test on its 1st outing!! Some monster hybrids you got out there, looks like a blast!👍 Tight lines!!
I really like it so far. Couldn't have asked for a better first outing! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Man your vids are great! Love how people are happy till they don't get your fish lol!
Glad you like them! Ya can't please everyone I guess haha
DUDE SWEEEEET ROD!!! ITS GOT A GREAT BEND TO IT AND BACKBONE!!! NICE JOB!!!
It was a fun rig to build😁
WHAT'S UP DUDE?? FOUND THE VIDEO WITH THE ROD I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT I MESSAGED YOU ABOUT YESTERDAY... I LOVE THAT ROD!!! ALSO I FOUND THOSE HOOK PULLER OUTERS... THE TOOTHPICK!!! THANKS A BUNCH!!!! 🤙🤙🤙
Sorry Spencer, can't finish watching your video...went to Iowa city last week and hooked up on some big ones! And the fight was unbelievable OMG !!!! And I want more 😫 it's keep calling me. Fyi had River Certified hoodie on the whole weekend.
They're awesome dude, definitely one of my favorites! Really appreciate you being all river certified and stuff😁
That was pretty funny to see that guy come fish right next to you. I guess you were just doing that good.
He moved so I could chase that fish, so I can't discredit him too much haha
"I built it this winter specifically for this". Whelp if this was your first build, welcome to a new addiction.
Its probably around #50. You're right about it being an addiction!
People build fishing poles themselves?
Oh yeah, I started with fly rods !
Well played putting them all back especially the one where the dude is crowding you and asks if you're keeping it. Nope....kerplunk Freaking funny.
It wasn't meant to be condescending to anyone there, I just don't like to see bigger fish get killed. Just me.
I was just fishing there yesterday it’s a good spot, Nice videos man keep up the good work!!!
Glad ya enjoyed it dude!
Now that's an awesome day right there!
I couldn't ask for more😁
I just bought half ounce, 3/4 ounce, and ounce bucktails, same color. I also bought a penn battle 3 high speed reel and a penn 9' surf rod for my reel. I'm hoping to hit the Ohio River up and get out there in the swift current and get on them giant hybrids.
Man ive been stumped but watching your videos always makes me go out and catch me a monster, i need the secret fishing spots yall be hiding lol
Thsts pretty badass catching fish on lures and rods you built yourself. That rod is sick!..awesome wipers dude!
I've built a couple of my rods. It is very rewarding to catch fish on a rod you built yourself.
Thanks man. It definitely makes the whole experience feel a lot cooler!
Nice man...🤙 That new rod you made is sick.
I appreciate it dude. I love it already!
Bro that cooler look crazy. Love the video. thanks for the inspiration to keep fishing for monsters.
Glad you enjoy the videos dude!
awww I love that dam I think its time for a trip there.
SPF 50 is my life now. I always forget I'm a redhead the first time
Haha at least I'm not the only one!
Catching those big stripers sure looks like a lot of fun nice Change-Up from 40 lb flat heads
Gotta agreed 💯! The fall bite on them should be going soon too!
Thanks for the video, jumbo wipers equall fun!!
I can't argue, but you tend to have pretty solid logic.
@@RiverCertified thanks bud
if you switch to 50 pound power pro line for that surf rod you would get a lot better casting distance ,lust wear a golf glove on the hand you hold the line for casting.you can also add an egg sinker above the swivel that your leader is tied to . we fish this way for stripe bass below pickwick dam ,and catch a bunch fishing the boils below the dam.
Even with only one ounce jigs? I've thought about that, I just figured lighter line would mean more distance.
@@RiverCertified how many lb of live you using
@@RiverCertified the power pro is so slick it shoots through the line guides and does not have the memory spiral going out that mono does. 50 pound power pro only has the diameter of about 6 pound test, you will like it.
O.m.g lol, big S that was some big ones. I'm here watching u pull in that big one look for my net to help u . Lol. It's funny how policy can be nice one minute and turn mad the next. Thanks for that great video buddy. Keep on fishing and be safe . Wow.
Haha they were probably just busy, but I appreciate your consideration 😁 thanks for the kind words!
People is what I met to write. Lol. One more thing, I didn't think that rod would hold up but it did. Nice, and u made that one too right. Wow, your the man. Lol be safe and take care big s
I'll probably never make it back to Iowa but I still remember where each and every hole I used to fish is.
The mark of a true fisherman
@@RiverCertified funny thing. It's been nearly 25 years.
Swear those are my favorite eating fish! They are so damn good and a blast to catch.
I like em, but I'm partial to walleyes personally. They make a fine fish taco though.
@@RiverCertified I've been fishing there a lot but I couldn't catch those kind. When exactly the best time for this kinds if you don't mind.
Seems like going at that season in May is the best time huh? Awesome! Thanks for the helpful info! Going Labor Day weekend.
May is good depending on the water level. Bring your top waters for labor day. Good luck!
I LOVE wiper fishing here in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. By the best place but at the local dam I love wading out and fishing in the current below the only gate that’s always open. They’re usually 2-5lbs so it’s not as fun but it’s still fun. At the same lakes dock last two months using a small balloon as a bobber ( which in calm wind you can see the vibrations of the baitfish through the ripples of the balloon) using a baitfish with as little weight as possible they will SMASH the bait. Seen at least three rods taken in the water and many more so close to be taken out. It’s a lot of fun, but soon I hope to go to either Ft.Gibson dam or Kaw dam or even Lake Texoma for bigger ones.
That sounds awesome dude. Good luck if you travel. I used to fish ft. Gibson a lot. Awesome spill way!
Nice fish and video Spencer!🎣👍
Glad you enjoyed the video dude!
If you continue fishing with that color pattern on the first jig try adding a white KI tech ribbed swimbait. I've caught some of my biggest wipers on that combo except I use 1/2 oz banana jig.
Thanks for the tip!
I'm looking forward to fishing again y'all
That fish was YUGE!
Lucky day😁
Wow, this was so good @ 9:21! I'm sharing this on Facebook.
Glad you got a kick out of it!
River Certified that was great!!
Wipers are hella fun to pull in. Reminds alot of pulling in a big cat
Definitely! I'd say they're a little faster though.
i was kayak trolling the fox and my hook bent as i got a 1-2 minute fighter into the boat.
Very nice!
There is giant Flatheads right above the Dam in about 50ft of water
Catfish tournament on the iowa river by belle plaine July 11 to 12 if you fish tournaments
Appreciate you letting me know!
Wow you hit the Mother load. The new rod looks great so many applications you can do with that. You need to have a River certified hair jig giveaway. Drift cut bait under a slip float . Always great video
I love that rod already. I'm editing the bobber video right now. I might have to do that giveaway!
River Certified well being I suggested the give away I should get one or two 👍
So jelly.
Here on the Ohio the best place for me to have a shot at a beefcake like that is under 12-15 feet of water right now.
Also I have to give you a hat tip sir. Picked up a Whiskerseeker rod and it has completely replaced all my kitty cat rods.
Might be worth trying a creek mouth close to that are for them right now if you got super raging water. That's where I'd start anyway. Glad you like the whiskerseekers. Ain't no other cat rod quite like em.
Yes been having some wiper action for the last couple of months my self. 1 of the hardest fighting fish in freshwater. My biggest was right at 11 so far. Caught multiple 8 and 9s a few 10s.Great video man keep em coming .
They are way too fun when they get that size. Glad you are on some fish!
@@RiverCertified where can I order one of these rod an reel combos at
coolest local ever
You're making me blush hahaha
That was some great fish. Fun to fight with
Thanks Terry!
I love that rod
That makes two of us😁
Nice! You was fishing next to Laotians. Not surprised for them to ask what your catching fish on. I needs to start using my surf rod. I’m the same way as you when I’m out of jigs. Make up my own weights with split shots or small sinkers lol
I wasn't getting the distance I wanted out of it, just gotta refine a few things. Tackle tinkering is the best!
nice catchs, your videos are awesome, im headn out now to try and catch me some monsters!
Good luck dude!
Those Penn fierce reels are legit! Man I love striper fishing, such a great fight
They used to be about as good of a bang-for-your-buck as you could get. I'm with ya on the stripe-ed fish man!
This is River Rat billy, I'd still help net your fish for you even if you didn't give them to me..awesome fishing , I hope you catch a Giant too!
You are obviously an awesome individual 😁 thank you!
All nice fish
Thanks man
Dude! You caught Nessie with that Drastic Plastic!!
They seem to work perty good😁
Nice and don't apologize for putting them back to the eaters.. LOL
No worries. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@RiverCertified Yeah I wish I had a spot like that to fish, that is nice... I might have to drive over one day from Nebraska
Have you ever flathead fished below that dam? Fished it grow the other side 20+ years ago!
I have it. Can be good at times. Thanks for watching!
You crushed it nice 👍 love that you had homemade jigs and rod your a true fisherman
Thanks dude!
Those are some monsters! Great video my brotha!
I felt fortunate to have a day like that! Glad you enjoyed it!
Sweet drastic plastic plug. Now show em the big dogs!
We need some rain and it will happen soon!
The one at 15:00 is a great one. You know how I can tell, the amount you were shaking afterwards!! Just like me, I do the same thing. I think it's addrenline?!?! Great fishing when their tugging on the other end. Thanks for sharing
Those fish sure do get me jacked up. When you hear the drag rippin on a spinning reel, it's one of my favorite sounds! Glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to fish here, great vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
😂 cramped right. We got a couple cramps at barkley skippy fishing. the struggle is real.
When the fish get biting, people get excited. I'm no different haha
@@RiverCertified i hear ya there man .
Slob! I need to get in on some of that wiper action this summer.
Hope you do cuz theyre a blast!
Catch and release is a blast😎👍
I like watching the big ones swim away. I also like keeping some small ones for fish tacos😁
Danm, those are some big mamas, nice vids!!
It was a fun day! Glad you enjoyed it!
You catching that monster just made me sub
It was fun man. I appreciate the sub!
You should do a video on how you build your rods.
Going to do some fishing today with a buddy, debating on going to lake wapello, Rathbun or red rock. Decisions decisions!
Thats a big area! Good luck wherever you end up!
Love it!
Dude you kind of sound like Paul Rudd lol
There are gar below the dam at red rock and I got a big one with shad
Nice
Loved the video you've got me thinking about going to red Rock on Saturday. Went out today fishing with night crawlers caught the biggest blue Gill I've ever seen couldn't get my hand around him had to take him to the tail gate to get the hook out then I caught an 4 lb small mouth never saw the line move l was reeling in to change spots and damn I'm snagged then I felt the fish and it's shit howdy set the hook and went for a ride it was great. After all that you got me thinking about going to Red rock.
Hope you have great day
Awesome video! That's my type of fishing, dams.
They're a lot of fun, especially considering there's usually something that's biting.
Mine as well I grew up fishing dams and still do.
What dam is that? I need to go ASAP
I think it is red rock
That's a good day
Thank you. I had a blast!
Cool vid. One ounce gitsit jigs tipped with x-large shiner works good as well. I use my grandmothers recipe for canned carp for these. Man is it good to open a pint up with some crackers in December. I'll eat the whole jar lol. I'm gonna can alot fish this year including carp. They are great too. You any wanna think about it. Only meat left in the stores around here is chicken. Keep your powder dry young man 💪🙏.
Is there anything special you do to keep the shiner on when you have to cast far? They seem to fly off for me. I've never canned anything, but really enjoy pickled fish. Thanks for watching sir! I had some fun in your neck of the woods the other day. Should have had my first flathead of the year, but that's another story.
@@RiverCertified when u hook them use large hoop jigs and hook them from the bottom up so the hook comes out right behind their head. A gitsit jig is weighted in a way that it has a flat bottom and when on bottom it holds the hook part up at about a 45 degree angle so your shinner is tail up when hooked that way. Works good in current.
Great video ,. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice fish.
Thanks dude!
What blank is that spend? Trying to decide on a blank for a new striper rod since catfishing sucks around here anymore
Its just the 9' MH mudhole surf blank. It probably would make a decent striper rod. Probably would get the 10 footer for your spillways though
@@RiverCertified appreciate it
Fun fishing 🎣👍👏🙏
Definitely a fun day😁
Man sweet video bro looking forward to more there nothing better to do in this covid 19 world right now 👍
I'm glad I can keep you entertained!
Great catches man. I like that hairy jig you were throwing.
Thanks dude! Its fun to make em too!
That place looks very familiar are you in Florida fishing in sneads that looks just like the dam I fish at
nice fish and video. you always want something you didn't bring lol stay safe.
Yeah, it seems to happen a lot when you fish for a bunch of different kind of things, but that's how I like to do things!
Absolute freakin hammer man!
Thanks Gary!
Pandemic is going on is iowa red rock still open we were thinking to go on saturday 2 days near memorial day and we wanted to see if its still open
I think it's still open. Good luck dude!
I live in Des Moines Iowa and have never river fished. I have not fished sense 2001 I just recently started fishing for crappie. Are those fish good eating. I was thinking about fishing the raccoon or Des Moines River
They are alright to eat. I like crappie and walleye quite a bit better, but that's just me. If you want wipers, I'd stick to the des moines river. Seems to have more in it than the raccoon.
So which model of whitebass do you guys have in the Iowa dams? 😊
Turkeys hang out around water... Seeing some turkey hunting footage would be sweet!
Check out my IG. I posted some videos on the story. I posted a pheasant hunting video on my other channel "timber certified" haha
Nice of you to give away your homemade shit. You made his day! Good stuff
It would be sad to have all the fun haha
Man that's a lot of fish
It was a fun afternoon!
@@RiverCertified I bet it was bud
When Flathead fishing today with some bluegills made as flapper bait. No luck except channels. Talk to the DNR who was shocking on the Cedar River they didn't not roll up any flatheads
Still early, but it is starting. I had one spit the bait a few days ago, but I was in Southern Iowa. Still bitter about missing that fish.
