CFFF 1.5 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 On Saturday I went to my spot and cast netted some shiners and I got about 1.5 dozen and my buddy went to a spot to try and get a few extra shiners for the trip. He only got one but man was it huge. Picture to follow. So we went to a catch and release lake in Lake County called wildcat lake and when we were on our way to our spot we noticed another boat fishing shiners in our spot and they were killing them. We saw them catch at least 8 bass in about 1 hour. We ended up getting two on the day with no real size to any of them. Our best was about 3.5lbs and another was only 2lbs but it was a nice day to fish and we had a good time anyway. I really want to show off the size of this shiner my buddy caught on a bread ball. This thing would have been a keeper in a bass tournament. This thing was at least 12 inches if not 14". This thing was huge. Here is a pic. Has anybody ever fished with a shiner this big, or even seen one this big. Just for a size reference My buddy is 5'11" about 190lbs. Quote

Under the Radar Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 CFFF nice shiner. Yes I've fished 'em that big. Yes I've caught Bass on them. My partner broke off a biggun last Saturday on Toho. She got down into the grass before he could turn her. Broke off 50# braid. Have caught bass as small as 2.2lbs on 12 inch shiners. I mean those bass can have a real attitude when it comes to live bait. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted February 21, 2008 Super User Posted February 21, 2008 My buddy caught this one on a LC CB 350. This thing actually tried to swallow the crank! Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 22, 2008 Super User Posted February 22, 2008 here is one i caught, its not exactly a shiner, its actually a "rudd" but they are very similar to shiners. this one was 10": Quote
Perfect Hook Set Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 I caught one the same size as DSA.... That looks like a "roach" Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 23, 2008 Super User Posted February 23, 2008 no im pretty sure mine is a rudd. here is a picture of a rudd next to a golden shiner: Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Posted February 25, 2008 so what exactly is the difference they look exactly the same except one is bigger. Quote
