If you were bass fishing and snagged that big guy I would be willing to bet
the bass were feeding on them.

Here our big bait fish for generations has been threadfin shad, but I have
heard rumors we now have gizzard shad in the upper part of the river that
may soon migrate down river towards me soon. I have also heard we have
golden shinners wild, but I have not seen any. We do have red shiners,
(sometimes called crazy horse minnows or red horse or red mountain or fire
mountain minnows) but typically they only get about in inch and a half long.
On the rare occassions when I see bigger ones at 3" then look out! The bass
will be snacking on them big time.

Live shad and shiners caught from the water where fishing can make for a
really great day of fishing. I've had a couple hundred plus fish days using
live bait gathered in a throw net.

P.S. I would be tthat there in western Ky there are some guys who do use
those large shiners and catch big fish on them. They just don;t tell
everybody about it.

Here in Maine we use shiners quite a bit for Bass. They can get up to
8 to 12" when grown properly.
I just watched a B.A.S.S. show the other day on OLN about fishing
shiners for 10Lb bass.

It works and works great! My daughter got a couple crappie last year
that were just a hair under 4 lb and about 17" long fishing shiners!
Great bait.

Even when fishing crank bait.... my best success is on a gold/black
3.5 inch rapala.

Oh yeah, float one of those above a slip bobber above the weeds in about 12
feet of water, and hold on! LOVE shiner fishing!! There about a buck a
piece here at the local bait shop, not cheap....

LOL, I remember the first time I tried to buy some wild shiner in Florida.
I'm used to buying shiners here in Wisconsin for a couple bucks a dozen.
When Moe took my son and I out fishing, he said "You buy the bait."

When the guy asked me how many shiners I wanted, I said, "Gimme 8 or 10
dozen," not wanting to run out. The guy looked confused for a moment and
said, "Are you sure?" I asked why not, and when he said, "That'll be
$154.00 with tax, I almost choked! We settled for two dozen.

Well, we get a break on a dozen! There $10.00 a dozen here! That's pretty
much the norm for this area too it seems. Almost cheaper to have you ship
me some when I'm in need! lol

Dang.... It might be worth while for someone to make a private pond
and ship in 10 dozen and let them breed!
