New PB for smallest artlure fish
« on: November 03, 2013, 08:00:13 PM »
Went down to my local city dam for a quick fish.
 
  Managed to catch my first vlei kurper for the season.



And then hooked into a 23mm male mosquitofish, beating my previous smallest by 5mm!



The male fish are significantly smaller than the females and have an elongated anal fin (gonopodium) used during mating.
 
  I usually only catch the bigger, fatter females, so this was a
  treat.
 
  Used a tanago hook and extremely small fleck of white rubber lure.
 
  Cheers

That's really tiny!

Anybody thought of trying to use#28 or #32 flyfishing hooks?
