Fishing Bluegills turns into fishing Madtoms

I was originally going for bluegills on nightcrawlers at Big Bear Lake, but then something else bit on. A madtom. Then i decided i did too much bluegill fishing so i decieded to start catching madtoms. they are so easy to catch. My sister got 40 in one hour by just using a number 10 hook with a small split shot about 6 inches up and dropped it into the water right along the shore.

they get like 5 inches at the most i think. I used number 10 snell hook with a tiny split shot above it couple inches and all i did was dangle it near the bottom of the rocks
