A recent survey indicates at least a third of Iowans have gone fishing and the number of fishing TOURNAMENTS is growing. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issued permits to 617 tournaments last year. “By far the most popular fish in tournaments are bass and bass consistently rank in the top two or three fish and usually the first fish in which anglers in Iowa go after.”
That’s Joe Larscheid, the fisheries bureau chief in the Department of Natural Resources. Tournaments aren’t about catching fish to EAT, however. Nearly all tournaments are “catch and release” events. “We have to make sure they have adequate ‘live wells’ which keep the fish alive while they’re in the tournament and they have good release procedures to ensure that the fish survive.”
Releasing the fish back into the wild makes sure a body of water isn’t depleted of fish by a tournament. “These tend to be very good anglers and they can catch a lot of fish very quickly,” Larscheid says. “The fish go back into the water and it creates a lot of excitement for other anglers to see all these big fish that are caught and subsequently re-released back into the water.”
Larscheid says fishing is part of the state’s tourism industry. “We get celebrities that participate in these tournaments and TV coverage — and things like that — that kind of highlight Iowa’s fisheries,” Larscheid says.
Last year, the state’s fisheries stocked 160 MILLION fish in Iowa waters. Most were walleyes and trout, which Larscheid says don’t reproduce well in Iowa waters. There were SIX fishing tournaments in Iowa this past weekend. Today (Monday), the Hawkeye Bass Anglers Club will hold its tournament on Badger Creek Lake near Van Meter. On Saturday, there are at least 17 fishing events scheduled in Iowa, including an all-night CATFISH tournament on the Little Sioux River at Correctionville.

A national survey was conducted six years ago to gauge how many Americans are regularly hunting, fishing and boating. It found 23 percent of IOWANS had gone fishing in a boat. Even more — 36 percent — cast fishing lines from the shore of a lake or river.

MIAMI (AP) — Aaron Judge, Carlos Correa and Nolan Arenado led a new generation of All-Stars, among 12 first-time starters elected by fans for the July 11 game at Marlins Park, the most since voting was returned to fans in 1970.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Alex Mejia’s first two major league hits — including an eighth-inning home run — were the difference as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Washington Nationals 2-1 on Saturday night. The Cardinals have won four straight and six of their last seven.
Washington, which is the only team in the National League yet to be shut out this season, has lost three straight and five of their last seven. Michael Wacha (5-3), celebrating his 26th birthday, was coming off his best start in more than a month and tossed six scoreless innings. He surrendered four hits, including two to Anthony Rendon, struck out a season-high nine and walked one.
Washington left-hander Gio Gonzalez (7-3), who was coming off a loss to the Cubs, was nearly as good against an all right-handed hitting Cardinals lineup that included four rookies. He allowed one run and two hits over seven innings, striking out nine and walking two.
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — This is the big one that didn’t get away. The Quad-City Times reports that a Davenport man caught 60-pound flathead catfish out of the Mississippi River at Davenport on Friday. That topped the 45-pound catfish Samuel Brown hauled in at about the same spot last year.
Brown says he had told a friend he planned to “catch a big one” on Friday. When he did, he noted that he opened the fish’s mouth and “could just about put my head in there.” Brown said he set his line a couple of hours before the giant fish bit. It took him about 25 minutes to reel it in.
