Golden shiner ; we have caught them up Milford way in KS.

That’s a medium Minner at Grenada.

If you like to fish for bluegill in that pond it’s going to hurt that. I use to pond fish and fished a pond that had them in it. I caught as many or more shiners than I did bluegill. Once they are mature, there’s not much in a normal pond that can eat them. Most people here that put baitfish in a pond put threadfin shad in them.

Golden Shiners are also know fish egg eaters. Next time I would go with Fathead Minnows in your pond. They don’t grow as big as Golden Shiners and they aren’t known to eat fish eggs like Golden Shiners.

Fat head minnows.... That's what I was trying to think of instead of Threadfin shad. That's what people around here put in their ponds.....

Submitted properly it would be the state record, I think.

Striper bait.

I saw a guy fishing big shiners under a cork like they do in Florida for lunker bass, so I assumed that was what he was doing. When I saw him back at the ramp later, he had a couple of flathead catfish that must have been between 20 and 30 pounds each.
