Thanks guys
I guess the old man still knows a thing or two.

Here in western Ky we do not fish with big shiners. We do fish with
minnows ( I guess those are small shiners) for crappie.

That is a "shiner" and a real good size to use for giant bass !

I snagged this little guy Friday while bass fishing. My old man said it
was
a "shiner".
Is my old man right?



Yes he is right. That is a golden shiner, usually just called "shiner"
at
the bait shop.
When young and small they tend to look silvery but as they start getting
bigger
(as in the one you have in your hand) they get yellower in color.
I've caught them as large as a pound on worms.
