Small fish can have some amazing colors.

Blackstone, Quetico. Lake trout.

Delusions of Grandeur.

Went to lakeside cabin in Hayward WI and found lots of small bluegills and bass plentiful around the dock.

Grandkids had fun fishing ... I couldn't put worms on their hooks fast enough. My 3 year old grandaughter called this one in the pic a "MONSTER". Precious moment.

Can't wait to bring grandkids up north to Quetico for some real fishin'.

Young muskie are pretty cool looking. I end up getting quite a few small muskies when I tip up fish for Pike in the winter. Always a nice little treat mixed in.

cityfisher , i see your from the mpls area , what lakes do you ice fish ? i've never caught a muskie through the ice .
i use to fish tonka a lot , 1 winter a friend of mine caught a muskie that was 40" but an unbelievable 30 pounds on the digital usually a 40"er might hit 20 pounds , and no camera :(

He put up a good fight for his size....

Some Quetico lake. McIntyre, maybe?

My partner claims it takes more skill for the small ones!

The Rapala was bigger than the bass.
Smile is pretty big though.

AWESOME PIC ! especially with the fall leaves. i've always said "jig spinners , the most underrated & versatile lure ever"

Native brooke from a small crick in NW Pa. They'll hit almost anything if you're stealthy. Prettiest fish IMHO.

Shock,

+1 on jig spinner being one of the most versatile and underrated lures ever.

I was up on Comnee Lake in Quetico many years ago and a newby I brought along “schooled me” one afternoon on walleye. He was using a chartreuse jig with a white twister tail and gold blade spinner and I bet he caught 4 for every 1 walleye I caught. Made me a believer that day.

I always have some jig spinners in my tackle box now. Lots of smallies and northern hit a jig spinner too. I have a bud who swears by a large heavy jig spinner with a 5 inch Kalin Grub and Silver Spinner blade.

Podunk,

Beautiful native brook trout !

This one really wasnt that small. I like to hold them way in back of me to make them look smaller just in case somebody asks for small fish pictures.

^^^ LMAO !

i've brought long shank 3/4 oz jig heads add a 5" tail & spinnerblade , you have a larger profile bait and it will cut the wind for longer cast, no matter how strong the wind is.

Giant perch. Sorry about the pic. 1994 was the year it was taken
