Eastern Iowa youth test their skills in Bassmaster Junior National Championship

Submitted by admin on Tue, 08/01/2023 - 14:01

An eastern Iowa duo recently competed in the 2023 Bassmaster Junior National Championship, testing their fishing skills against teams from 38 states. Maddox Hanson (right) of Monona and his partner Avery Schmitt represented the Eastern Iowa Junior Bassmasters, based in Cedar Rapids. They placed 57th out of 123 teams during the two-day event, held July 21 and 22 on Lake Hartwell on the South Carolina/Georgia border. (Submitted photos)

Maddox (right) and Avery brought in five bass 12 inches or larger, which was the minimum size. The largest fish was 3.57 pounds, a good chunk of their 8 pound, 6 ounces total over the two days.

Fishing on Lake Hartwell was considerably different than the Mississippi River with its current and shallower water, said the boys. “You really had to find the cane piles, which are the man-made structures down deep...The warmer the water, the deeper you’ve got to go for bigger fish,” said Maddox Hanson of Hartwell.
