Shoot, I may just have to try a minner next time I go, I may even try fishing at night with a light. Both would be new for me. How many minnows are in a pound?

If I remember correctly the number is how many it takes on average to be a pound . #8 it takes 8 lbs for a thousand . Is this correct ? Had a baitshop in the 1970's when most folks used minnows .
