My smallest fish ever!
Microfishing has been slow this year but fun none the less.
Went out this morning for an hour and I spotted an inky black slithering school of fish. I dragged my micro hooks tipped with a fleck of work through it and brought this guy up. All I had was my flip phone so the pictures suck but this is my juvenile bullhead on a Canadian dime This one on my finger: I "landed" a couple more of these guys. I got some log perch and small bluegill The log perch were biting and I landed a couple. No pictures of the ones today... Here are some of the micros/juveniles from this year. Log perch: Gobie: Common Shiner: Creek Chub Fallfish: Nothing overly interesting just yet but fun catching the small guys. |

RE: My smallest fish ever!
Cool mix of species. Congrats on your PS (personal smallest)!
Now I encourage you to try for even smaller Malama o ke kai Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger. Life List: 577 species and counting (2016: 91 new species) http://muskiebaitadventures.blogspot.ca/...-list.html |

Thanks MB! Will do, catching this guy was pleasant but not much skill was involved dragging a worm fleck through school of voracious juveniles.

RE: My smallest fish ever!
With the fish being so tiny, would catching them basically be a death sentence for them? a hook can do a lot of damage.
just wondering, not judging. |

Generally the fish are just as OK as in normal fishing.
Using smaller hooks specially designed for microfishing which have different profiles and are much smaller than regular hooks (think #22 to #26) allow a clean hooking in the mouth. |

Microfishing looks like fun. I might take the ice fishing rod to the local creek
