Well, you beat me, but not by much! I was fly fishing a stock tank near the house I just moved from, and wasn't catching much. I lifted my rod tip, executed a nice back cast, and watched a little bream sail past my head, solidly hooked. About 1.5" long. I just let the line straighten, then cast him back out, then had to strip the line in so I could take the fly (a small dry fly, about a size 14, IIRC, that just about filled his mouth) away from him. From now on, I guess I'll have to take pix of…

I don't have any pics of these tiny ones, but back in the 70s on a family vacation, we spent a few days at a campground on Sheridan Lake, in the Black Hills. The campground was on a point in the lake, so I had water on 3 sides of me and was in fishing paradise :-)<br />

Walking along the bank, I came upon a spot where there were a bunch of tiny 1 - 2" bluegill holding under some floating weeds up against the bank. Just for fun, I tied on a small shiny hook and started jiggling it in the water at the…

Walking along the bank, I came upon a spot where there were a bunch of tiny 1 - 2" bluegill holding under some floating weeds up against the bank. Just for fun, I tied on a small shiny hook and started jiggling it in the water at the edge of the weeds to see if any would hit. After about 15 minutes I got bored of catching and releasing so many of them, not a one over 2 inches :-)<br />
<br />
Then I got down to serious fishing and caught enough yellow perch for dinner every day we were there. One of my favorite childhood fishing memories. The campground host, who had a boat, would catch his limit of rainbows every afternoon. One day when he didn't feel like cleaning his catch, he gave them to me. They were delicious, and the only pink-fleshed rainbows I've ever seen. I wonder what they were eating to get that coloration? Congrats Sharon!
