My smallest fish ever!

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.

Nothing overly interesting just yet but fun catching the small guys.

Cool mix of species. Congrats on your PS (personal smallest)! Smile

Now I encourage you to try for even smaller Big Grin

Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger.

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

You might have to fish at the local petsmart in the otocinclus tank. Smile
