That all looks like a lot of fine bait for Cats, Bass, Pike etc MuskieBait. Laughs.

Alfie.

 

I'll say it again to people who makes this kind of comment...

Your Cats, Bass and Pike all looks like fine bait to me. :razz:

Big and small, I catch them all. I don't discriminate because a species is small. Some of the smallest species actually presented the most challenges to me. Have you try tempt a 1" Swamp Darter to bite and hook it fairly in the mouth? Try it before you knock it. I bet you can't even tie a #26 hook onto 1lb tippet to even start fishing :P

And you know what? I got over a dozen Steelhead to bite on opener, vs. a single small and so called "unworthy" Stonecat. I wonder which is the harder species to catch? Steelhead are unwary, aggressive and unintelligent compare of many of these smaller species are that so camouflaged and difficult to target.

The friend can be found in one of my pictures. Look through them carefully. You should be able to figure it out.

Can't see the whole side of the fish well enough. Need to really see the side and all the fins to be definitive. But based on the broad head and large mouth, with the spot on the tail, it's likely a Creek Chub.

Note that Creek Chub is not limited to streams as their name implies. They can also be found in ponds and lakes with connecting streams.

Hey catching a lot of these guys in the creek near my house.  On average they're about 5" but I've got a couple that are slightly over 6".

Your chub is larger than any I've caught in Markham and I've caught many... Jumbo ones too. Your chub is the size of some of the suckers in my ponds.
