Minnow's

[yakin]

I have tried through the back behind the dorsal fin and through the bottom lip upwards. Both caught fish, but I paralyzed a few minnows when I accidentally clipped their spine. The old timer that taught me to do it through the back said that it let the minnow breathe better. I found out that if you put a minnow in the right spot, hooked either way, he is going to expire from being eaten or beaten to death long before he dies of lack of oxygen.
