November fishing on the Mississippi

Chunky smallmouth

I caught this 17-incher on a fathead and jig in the vicinity of the American Iron scrapyard.

It was tough to frame this fish properly for the self portrait.

I came across this fellow, Justin, a few days ago while he and a buddy were fishing under the Plymouth Avenue Bridge.

In a couple of hours, they caught a bucket of good sized crappies (!) and a five pound channel cat.

He was fishing with fatheads under a bobber.
