Has anyone fished the Wapsinicon River by Dewitt in Iowa before? Well I hadn't until two days ago! We went to the Wapsinicon and Zach (Friend) started catching fish right away! I was really impressed and we saw big splashes all over the place! Anywho, I'm going to make this quick, I got bored switched spots, found this HUGE lake right off the main River and we started catching nice fish! I had about 3 pike on my line at different times but the stupid things bit my line off everytime! I had a 6 pound Pike on there at one point and I almost got him in and he threw his tail and snapped my line....I did end up catching a mystery fish! I think its some kind of carp though, it was bright and shiny and had its mouth lower on its head and it was a light blue and silver in color. I know it wasn't a bluegill becuase it weighed a good 3 pounds. I'm not sure what it was and I can't find pics anywhere! Any ideas? Also, next time I go out there I'm going to use a steel leader of some kind and pray I can bring in a pike! 
My friend did that day, but it was small. Happy fishing!
