This is pretty darn good for Iowa....
Iowa Department of Natural Resources
12 hrs ·
🎣 Things are looking good at Three Mile Lake! 🐟
In our spring sampling, we caught 5 blue catfish, ranging from 22 to 23 inches in length and 4 to 6 pounds. We also caught 12 really nice largemouth bass (17-19 inches) in the nets. The biggest one was 19.9 inches and weighed 6.19 pounds!

Thought I would share

Wowza! Gives me hope the LMB we stocked might be able to get over 5 lbs. *crosses fingers*

It's been a long time since I have fished 3 Mile, how long has it been since the renovation?

A quick google search shows 3 Mile was chemically renovated in the fall of 2016 and was immediately restocked with fingerling BG, blue cats and walleye. LMB were restocked in the spring of 2017.

they've been known to take the last remaining fish from drawn down lakes and move them to freshly renovated lakes. They've done both at Darling

IDK the details of what they have going on at 3 Mile but there are some very impressive LMB caught out of that lake on a weekly basis with all of the tournaments they have going.
