Took my son fishing for only the second time at Nomehegan in Cranford....I thought we were only gonna hook a few sunnies to have some fun. Up comes this fish,,,not too big but it was not what I was expecting to catch...thought it was a small carp or perch but after some research someone told me it was a golden shiner. What do u think?

Golden shiner -- aka pike, bass, walleye food.

I have also caught these guys on spinners, jigs, and flies. Decent little fight on light weight stuff and then WTF! Now I know

Yup...golden shiner. Catch one like that again...at the right lake...and your son will have a pic with an even bigger...toothier (if that's a word) fish. Great picture and great job on the id

Bait! In Florida they live line those golden shiners for large mouth.

Good to see some fish survived in backwater. How did the main lake look?

RVTA has purchased 500K of golden shiner fry to stock in RV!!! We will have some fat trout if they get that big:D

How old is your son? Mine turns 3 at the end of the month and I think I am ready to take him along.

He just turned three... Now he likes to reel once I hook the fish....lake out front is fenced off,,,we were fishing back woods which is actually Rahway River....he is still scared of fish but time will cure that.
