ChiefsPlanet - Other Sports The Fishing Thread

Cool thing is we have 4-5 local lakes we can fish as well as countless farm ponds. And as you know, I live right on top of the bluff a couple miles away from the Mississippi, which gives us access to the Mississippi as well as several drainage ditches and pumping stations.

Looks like a trout to me. Then again, I've only caught a few in all my years of fishing. Pretty sure chubs have scales like most minnow type fish.

The general consensus seems to be trout or state record creek chub... this was caught in Southeast Iowa on the Mississippi... we don’t get trout here!! And on a goldfish!!! LMAO

Those first two are definitely rainbow trout.

That definitely looks like a Trout. Are there any urban trout ponds nearby that someone planted it?

Dude you need to start a youtube channel and get monetized for all of your efforts, there are several guys on there making good bank who are no better than you just going around documenting their exploits... you’d fit right into that

Anyone got any websites or pointers for a total.fishing noob? I want to take my sons out, need some gear and info. Probably river (gualala river) or maybe Pacific Ocean off some rocks.
