The Most Dangerous Ketch

Here you see the Iowa Fleet in home port provisioning for another foray into the wilds of farm ponds over the state. During the short season from March through November they bring in pounds of fish and contribute to the Iowa economy. Rain or shine intrepid crews ply the waters of Iowa bringing in catfish, bullheads, and sunfish, some the size of your hand. They brave dangerous snags of algae, tractor tires, and discarded Christmas trees; harvesting the teeming schools of Iowa fish. Without them the sushi bars of Brighton and Coppock would have to shutter their doors or retool to the thriving rabbit market.

Farm Pond Nori and a good grass carp shashami can't be beat when it washed down by a can of Bud Lite or PBR, so the next time you're in 生の魚や酒 in the heart of Brighton's entertainment district, remember the Iowa Fleet and how it enhances your snotty lifestyle.
