There was an 11lbr caught in a tournament at 12 mile in june of 2017. Unfortunately I believe it died because it was held out of the water too long for pictures. Could be wrong on that but that's what I was told.
My PB in Iowa is around 6lbs. The batteries in my scale decided to die last winter and I found out when I went to weigh the bass
There were two 9 lb bass weighted at Lake Anita on the same day two years ago.

Make that park loop in the winter, especially when there’s some snow on the ground...
Incredible, the number/quality of whitetails you’ll see.
One of my brother’s buddies, Bryan Hayes, is the DNR District or Regional fisheries biologist in that area, IIRC.

I believe they're here. In the southern Iowa lakes. I personally have never landed one over 6 pounds. I hooked one once that I guessed in the 7-8 pound range.
What I think is amazing is that guys can catch limits of around 25 pounds in a few lake at the right time. If you follow the pro's, a 25# limit is pretty damn good in most places in the country.
I stuck something there in a tournament last year that was giant. It got a strong head shake or two and then my rod snapped in half. I suppose it's possible that it was a catfish but it felt exactly like what a big bass feel like.

If we are talking about the same event (definitely the same lake and month) then that fish was 9 pounds. I remember seeing the pics and results on FB.

probably 12-15 years ago there was one over 8 lbs out of that dinky Mile Hill. Caught and released
I know someone who was at the weigh in first guy to weigh had a 9lb 3 oz pig and then the second to last guy to weigh in had a 9 lb 5 or 6 oz bass. The guy who got beat was just crushed. I beleive it was a Iowa Bass Stalkers tournament .

You're right Steve, I don't know why I thought it was 11lbs
Heck your grandparents probably know some of my family that farms in that areaLake Anita State Park (grew up not far west of there, in Atlantic and both sets of grandparents farmed around Wiota)...

Grandparents have all long since passed... But I'd probably recognize some of the names if the land has stayed in the family(s) since I was there.
Covered a LOT of that part of the world, hunting and fishing, when growing up.
My youngest (and 'young' is a relative term... He's 52.) brother still lives in Atlantic... His son is your age.

7-8 years ago at lake Geode I weighed in a 8.23 in a tourney
There are probably some 10s in the state but I bet not many. My best was #8
it grows a pound a year
