(Radio Iowa) — Licenses are now on sale for the paddlefish season on the Missouri and Big Sioux rivers. The D-N-R fisheries expert for the area, Chris Larson says there are a couple of options for getting a license. You can purchase one tag now through December 31st. There are 950 resident or 50 non-resident licenses and if there are any left over you can purchase a second tag from January 1st through January 7th. A resident license sells for 25 dollars and 50 cents and a nonresident license is 49 dollars. You must also have a valid Iowa fishing license. Larson says there usually are enough licenses for everyone who wants one. “The first year we sold almost 800 of the thousand that are available — but the last couple of years we’ve sold right around 400. You should be able to get one — obviously there’s no guarantee — but we have not sold out since we started the season in 2015,” according to Larson.
Paddlefish are caught by snagging them as they swim on the bottom of the river. He says they’ve made some changes to try and get more people interested. One change involves the rules that required you to throw back any rough fish you snagged while trying to get a paddlefish. “Anglers were upset about that and they also wanted a longer season,” Larson says. “So, we open the season earlier, its going to open February second through the 30th of April, which is an earlier start than when we started the season five years ago. You can also snag rough fish and keep those as well. So if you want some common carp or Asian carp for table fare,” he explains. It’s the second year for the adjustments that are aimed at bringing back those who tried paddlefishing and didn’t stay with it. He says hopefully the people who were upset about not keeping the rough fish will come back out.
Larson says you have to be specific in where you are looking for the paddlefish. He says the fish in the winter will be found in the slow-moving deep water and the only place you can find that is the holes behind the wing dikes where the fish overwinter. You a limited to catching one fish when you purchase a paddlefish tag. “You have to put the tag on the jaw — and as soon as you are out of tags you have to stop snagging. If you only have one tag and you snag a paddlefish and you are going to harvest it, you are done. You can also continue to snag the paddlefish and release them as well,” Larson says.
You can find out more about the paddlefish season by going to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources website at: www.iowadnr.gov.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Tyler Cook scored 18 points, Luka Garza added 15 and No. 23 Iowa beat Western Carolina 78-60 for its third consecutive win. Joe Wieskamp scored 10 points for the Hawkeyes, who forced 26 turnovers and led by as many as 27 points.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Dedric Lawson had 16 points and 14 rebounds, Charlie Moore made six 3-pointers en route to 18 points, and top-ranked Kansas pulled away in the second half for an 89-53 victory over plucky but overmatched South Dakota. Freshman forward David McCormack added a career-best 12 points off the bench for the Jayhawks, helping to soak up minutes while Udoka Azubuike is sidelined with a sprained ankle.
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Brady Manek matched a season-high with 18 points, and Oklahoma defeated Creighton 83-70. Christian James had his fourth straight double-double for the Sooners with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Kristian Doolittle and Rashard Odomes registered season highs with 13 points and Miles Reynolds also scored 13.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals have signed outfielder Terrance Gore to a split contract for next season, giving them yet another speedster to join what could be baseball’s fastest roster next season. Gore, traded by the Royals to the Cubs for cash in August, will make $650,000 in the majors and $350,000 in the minors, and he could make a $100,000 in performance bonuses.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks have placed guard Jordan Simmons on injured reserve after he suffered a knee injury last week against San Francisco. Simmons had played well in his three starts this season while filling in when D.J. Fluker was injured. Fluker’s status for Sunday’s game against Kansas City is in question due to a hamstring injury.

Wilkins had 12 points, five assists and four steals and Anthony Murphy added 11 points for Drake (7-2), which outrebounded the Cougars 39-28 but turned it over 20 times.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Kansas, Duke and Tennessee are 1-2-3 in the AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll for the second straight week. The Jayhawks earned 56 of 65 first-place votes to stay at No. 1. Michigan and Virginia each climbed a spot into the top 5. No. 25 Nebraska was the only addition to this week’s rankings. Reigning national champion Villanova fell out for the second time this season after two straight losses.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska and Akron announced an agreement Monday addressing the Sept. 1 season-opening game between the two that was canceled because of bad weather. Under the agreement, Akron will play at Nebraska on Sept. 6, 2025, for a guarantee of $1.45 million. The Huskers will also pay Akron $650,000 for the canceled game, more than half the $1.17 million guarantee.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Trent Forrest scored a career high 23 points and freshman Devin Vassell added 16 points as No. 11 Florida State overcame a sluggish first half and beat Southeast Missouri 85-68. Forrest shot 8 for 12 from the floor, and had a team-high eight rebounds and four assists to help the Seminoles win their fourth straight.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Keaton Wallace and Jhivvan Jackson each made five 3-pointers and scored 23 points as UTSA rolled to a 101-77 victory over NAIA-member Bethany College. UTSA (4-7) rebounded from a 12-point loss to Arkansas on Saturday and has won two of its last three games.
The Atlantic boys basketball team struggled to take care of the ball and make shots in the second quarter, allowing the Kuemper Catholic Knights to seize control of the game and grab a 60-48 victory on Monday night. The Knights turned a three point first quarter lead into a 14 point advantage by halftime. Blake Baumhover scored 11 of his 13 first half points in that second quarter. A number of those points came on transition layups off of steals. Atlantic Head Coach Jeff Ebling said the team wasn’t executing the press break in that second quarter.
The Knights were helped out by some strong outside shooting from Ben Brincks. He hit 5 threes on the night on his way to a team high 17 points. Baumhover finished with 16 and Kyle Berg chipped in 12 points for the Knights. Kuemper Catholic improves to 3-3 on the season and will finish the pre-holiday portion of their schedule with a trip to Harlan on Friday night.
Skyler Handlos dropped in 22 points to lead the Trojans, who played without leading scorer Chase Mullenix for the second game in a row. Logan Reilly finished with 13 points and Tyler Moen had a rough shooting night and came away with 6 points. Atlantic falls to 4-3 and will travel to Gilbert on Friday night for their last game before the holiday break.
The Atlantic boys basketball team will play host to the Kuemper Catholic Knights tonight and we’ll have coverage on KJAN. The 4-2 Trojans are coming off wins last week over Glenwood and Shenandoah and will face a 2-3 Knights team that beat Creston this past Friday.
Atlantic comes in to the match-up averaging 61 points per game and Chase Mullenix is leading the team with 24 points per outing. The Knights have dropped in 41 points per game so far this season. The Knights’ leading scorer is Ben Brincks with 13 points per outing, he is the only Kuemper player averaging in double figures.
You can catch the game on AM1220, FM101.1, online at kjan.com, and on the web app. You can also catch live video tonight on our facebook page. Chris Parks has the call from Atlantic High School.
