- 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!

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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
Great video, Spencer! Lots of action at Red Rock Dam!
A whole lot of fun!
U just gave away the spot
Dude my heart was pumping that whole fight....good stuff brother
It was a whole bunch of fun dude!
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
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!
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
Bro that cooler look crazy. Love the video. thanks for the inspiration to keep fishing for monsters.
Glad you enjoy the videos dude!
I was just fishing there yesterday it’s a good spot, Nice videos man keep up the good work!!!
Glad ya enjoyed it dude!
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!
Now that's an awesome day right there!
I couldn't ask for more😁
Slob! I need to get in on some of that wiper action this summer.
Hope you do cuz theyre a blast!
Nice fish and Drastic Plastic has some very nice baits
Thank you sir. Agreed, they make some great baits!
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!
Those are some monsters! Great video my brotha!
I felt fortunate to have a day like that! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice fish and video Spencer!🎣👍
Glad you enjoyed the video dude!
Great catches man. I like that hairy jig you were throwing.
Thanks dude! Its fun to make em too!
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!
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
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
Nice man...🤙 That new rod you made is sick.
I appreciate it dude. I love it already!
I would love to fish here, great vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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!
Danm, those are some big mamas, nice vids!!
It was a fun day! Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
Great video ,. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
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!
Epic and inspiring!
I just fish a lot 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!!!! 🤙🤙🤙
nice catchs, your videos are awesome, im headn out now to try and catch me some monsters!
Good luck dude!
Good time right there👍
I can't complain sir!
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.
You crushed it nice 👍 love that you had homemade jigs and rod your a true fisherman
Thanks dude!
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!
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!!
awww I love that dam I think its time for a trip there.
Good luck dude!
@zander Red Rock.
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
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
Thanks for the video, jumbo wipers equall fun!!
I can't argue, but you tend to have pretty solid logic.
@@RiverCertified thanks bud
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.
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
Fun fishing 🎣👍👏🙏
Definitely a fun day😁
Just found your channel...subbed. Good stuff.
Glad you enjoy it!
Catch and release is a blast😎👍
I like watching the big ones swim away. I also like keeping some small ones for fish tacos😁
I'm looking forward to fishing again y'all
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!
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😁
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.
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
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!
Nice fish.
Thanks dude!
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.
Dude that is awesome. Id love to catch some wipers like that man. Great video 🤘🏼🤘🏼👏👏👏👌🏻🤙🏻🐋🎣🕺🏻
I hope you do man!
That was some great fish. Fun to fight with
Thanks Terry!
All nice fish
Thanks man
Dude! You caught Nessie with that Drastic Plastic!!
They seem to work perty good😁
Love that long back bone rod
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@RiverCertified I really did.
I love that rod
That makes two of us😁
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 👍
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!
"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 !
Absolute freakin hammer man!
Thanks Gary!
You should do a video on how you build your rods.
Nice vid thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
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!
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.
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!
Damn slayed em
Killer video!!!!!
Really glad you enjoyed it!
wow the size of him....amazing.
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!
Love it!
Dude you kind of sound like Paul Rudd lol
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!
That had to have been at least 30 plus. The pole you made is very similar to my river pole for big striper. 9 foot penn with a fierce 3 6000 reel. I call it my winch on a stick. Love your videos!!
I dont know if she went 30, but she was definitely fun. Yeah your rig sounds like the big brother of mine haha
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.
😂 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 .
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!
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!
Those some big hybrids !
You catching that monster just made me sub
It was fun man. I appreciate the sub!
nice monsters :D
Thank you sir
dayum u lucky to get out there I work to much now can't have the time to go anymore
stAyd hookd
I don't any of it for granted. Hope you can get out on the water!
That fish was YUGE!
Lucky day😁
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!
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!
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!
Good viode bro like aways 👍💯
Thanks dude, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
coolest local ever
You're making me blush hahaha
Life of a ginger outdoorsman! I feel your pain! Nice catch great video
Tell me about it😂 Glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you don't get too crispy out there!
i was kayak trolling the fox and my hook bent as i got a 1-2 minute fighter into the boat.
Very nice!
Miss fishing at red rock. How's the fishing there now during this season? Tight line brother and great video's
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.
There are gar below the dam at red rock and I got a big one with shad
Nice
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.
I work in the city where that is. I really need to get down there
Good luck dude!
Good ole red rock dam, need to go flathead fishing with you sometime, I slay channels up at saylorville
She can be real nice or real mean haha
@@RiverCertified these are facts lol
