Mississippi River

It hasn’t been very fishy for me lately but I’m still happy to catch a fish

Is this actually a wiper??

Caught this chunky boy my only fish today but I’ll take it 🤘

Is this a smallie?? Out of the Mississippi river

Can someone give me tips on catching these or hybrids? I’m struggling this is the largest one I’ve caught which is few and far between.

First bluey on the Mississippi!
