Thanks
Here in western Ky we do not fish much with large shiners.

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.
