Dave those were awesome bleeding shiners and dollar sunfish. I also like that redspotted sunfish. How far south did you go to get those guys?

On a 9 weight?😁

 I wasn't expecting the micro opportunity, so I happened to be using the 8wt because of the other species I was fishing for.  Could easily have used the 9, tho. 😜

Y'know... some anglers like to see how big of a fish they can catch on light line.  I think they'd be pretty proud of a 10:1 ratio... a 20 pound fish on 2 lb test, for example.

My best is probably a 35 lb fish on 8 lb test... 4.375:1.

A ratio is a ratio.  With the mosquitofish, the ratio went the other way.  I didn't weigh the mosquito fish, but I looked up average weights for mosquitofish, and its about 1 GRAM!  1 gram is  .0022 lbs and I was using 12 lb tippet! So... if my calculations are accurate... I just totally rocked a 1:5455 ratio! 🥇 🏆
