Has anyone ever caught one of these?

I think it is some kind of chub. Caught from Shoal Creek. I have never seen one !

Striped Shiner in breeding colors I think. Real nice sized one. Good for you man. I would loved to have caught it.

Great size for catfish bait!

Dan that's a really nice striped shiner. He is ready for the ladies. If you scale down your hook size, the cardinal shiners should be getting into their breeding coloration as well.

You should be able to find them both in shoal creek as well as the spring river. I was catching them a couple of weeks ago where Rt 97 crosses the Spring river above Stotts city and also in Talbot CA just below the bridges. They should look like the ones in the photo by now.

Might be a state record! Seems they have records for every type of fish you can catch in Missouri.

Thanks, I am thinking of throwing a cast net at some of these for walleye bait. Maybe I will get a state record.

Speaking of record... just for the record my friend Steve caught this common shiner while we were fishing together.
