I think I have secured the "Smallest fish ever caught on a hook" title. I did foul hook it so it may not qualify as a record. I've never seen so many thread fin shad. I don't know if these clouds are thread fin's or not, but I do know that I shot this jig under a dock and reeled in a thread fin, hooked under the gill plate. If these are all shad, I don't know why a fish would be hungry enough to bite a jig. These "clouds" were 100's and 100's of yards long and wide. I don't know how wide but I could troll 20 yards either direction and not ever get out of them. If I had a cast net I would know what was down there. I may borrow one and go back tomorrow afternoon to see what they are.
