I dont think the small mouth was caught on a jig  :-\ I catch them that size in my traps every now and then. I could be wrong but im just saying.

Grab the deep sea fishing gear and buy a bigger boat!! Growing up, I was taught the true test of a fisherman was to be able to feel and catch the small one's. After that, the big one's are easy.

yes it is! ;D ;D I need to contribute again this year
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish.

Very neat post,I like it. @)

I have a few small fish to post. ;D
This is one of the smaller pike I have caught is quite some time.

It was caught last open water season.

Here is a small carp caught on a worm in the summer of 2011.

It was quite like the goldfish you see in the pet shops. :)

A smaller pike from a few winters ago.


Some of my smaller perch.








Little walleye, maybe 1 lb.


Not a fish, but still a fairly small water critter.
It hung onto my lure all the way in and then dropped off on shore.


All the little fish {and cray fish} went back to get a bit bigger.

I think that any fish is worthy of a photo, be it big or small. ;)

Here's my smallest perch from last year

This one made good bait for some pickerel!

Believe it or not I once won a walleye tournament with a 4.2oz fish only one caught, it was embarrassing but i accepted any way.

It's not that fishing is so important, it's just that so many things in life are so much less important

I think this monster snapped my #17 fluorocarbon line earlier in the day.

I hit Adirondack lake today with the Mrs. in search of some really small perch. At first I was not doing well:




Then I started hitting the small perch and all was good!




very windy day but beautiful scenery:




My wife tried for the smallest pike:



She did  get a nice bass:



But she did end the day with the biggest fish:

Went out onto East Caroga for some small perch and boy did I find them.







Met up with Atrain44 out on the ice and he was catching some pickerel on tip-ups:

Kissed it for good luck!
