Took me 24 years.  But I've caught the fish that started my interest in micros.  I thought they were orange throated darters, but after catching and seeing the darter behavior, I knew that the fish I first seen were different.  While hiking a trail as a younger man, I seen some interesting minnows that I thought looked like tropical aquarium fish.  I had no idea how to catch them minus a small net. Thanks to @Johnsfollyfor showing me the ropes, inhale truly finally caught the fish that started my interest.   There are quite a few in this thread, these are in the order they were caught.  Nature would have it, the best was last.  This would be the only male red belly dace I would catch.  It came from the last pool on the trail.

@Daryk Campbell Sr Glad to have been able to get you into the micros buddy. You did a great job on your own. where we're you fishing? That southern redbelly dace male is incredible. I have never caught one as nice as that guy. Congrats on a great fish! Looks like a great trip as well.

           Fantastic Daryk,

    That fish looked like it was on fire.
