    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..
    Birddog,

    I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast I then most humbly pray. When in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep. That in His mercy I be judged, BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP.

    Was there a dorsal fin, if not its not a golden shiner but it does look like one. Could be a striped mullet.

    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.
    It is not about the equipment you have to use,
    It is about how you use the equipment you have. :D

    A shiner definetly has a dorsal fin, as we sometimes hook them there! I am sure that is a shiner!
