Yeap that's a shinner.
The very first time my Dad took me fishing he gave me 100 crickets, a 12' cane pole and a six foot fish string. Sat me on the side of a slew and said "I'll be back in a little while". When he returned I had that six foot stringer full of shinners, nothing else. It really hurt my feeling when he started laughing and told me to throw them all away. But I know a shinner when I see one now...Lesson learned..
Yep, that is a big ole shiner. Excellant catfish bait. I wish I had a pond full of those:)
Was there a dorsal fin, if not its not a golden shiner but it does look like one. Could be a striped mullet.
Don't remember if it had one or not,he caught it and took it off and I took a picture and he toss it back in.:)Quote:

not a striped mullet.....great guess though. looks like a shiner to me
that,s the size we were using in fld. for bass fishing. Great fun when you get a bas to hit a shiner that big . have a crappie day!
oh yeah, thats a shiner. i was reeling in one of them today and a pig ole northern pike came up and hammered it. actually had the pike on my 2 pound ultralight for a couple seconds then he spit out the shiner.
A shiner definetly has a dorsal fin, as we sometimes hook them there! I am sure that is a shiner!Quote:
