arpie Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Hi guys Tossed a line in in desperation today, between rain showers ....... this is all I could come up with! Admittedly, it was foul hooked, but ... This is soooo small it made the 6lb line on my leader look like a whipper snipper cord! Cheerio Roberta Maybe I should submit it in the Records Section - trouble is, it is so small I can't identify the species! Hmmm, I think my hook is a bit blunt!

slinkymalinky Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 WOW! What an awesome fish. I'm guessing that the hook got blunted during the fight. Are we going to get to read the whole story of the capture in #####ing like the yak Marlin? Did you get him on your usual Blackie gear Roberta, or did you have to use your 80W set up? Glad you got out on the water... love your posts as usual Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray R Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hey Roberta, this could be the beginning of a ' SMALLEST FISH ' comp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbitt Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hello Roberta OH OOHHH. Looks like Ive got some stiff competition here, even thou your your hady cap is blunt hooks. With sharp hooks, new line and reel, I still feel threatened !! With any luck I might be able to score a point or two on the tally board this week end eh.

paulcha11 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hey Roberta, Great catch there! Good to see the fishing is starting to fire up there in the lake. Hope all is well. Charmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewgaffer Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Did u even know that it was on there. I don't think you even knew that tiny little fish was hooked up did you Roberta, until you checked out all the gall bladders of Forster's miniature star fish.

donjuarez Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 And here it is folks, the day that the fish gods threw everything they had at me to try and discourage me from ever fishing again... My smallest ever fish, I don't think I will ever surpass this achievement... Number 12 hook... it's head was smaller than my fingernails... hooked under the belly..
