I think I probably established a world record today for the smallest fish ever caught on a crankbait.
Hootie
that might be the record, but the igfa will not recognize it as it was foul hooked.
I've seen a few similar pics on this forum, wonder what will pop up?
Lol, nice ultra dink!
Oh and I think you set the hook a little too hard.
That's a Hawg!

The DNR frowns when fish have lead in their bellies
did she swim away strongly when you released her?
Can't remember who but someone on here still has you beat. The catch was about 1/4 inch

Did you weigh it or did you measure it?
I'd like to challenge you for the title. Caught this guy on the shadow rap shad. Wouldn't fit on my scale.
I wanted to post this before, but didn't think anyone would believe it was real. I had a hard time believing it, and I'm the guy that bank flipped him.
That's your PB I take it. Get a replica. Should be cheap. They charge the inch. The image is a friend of mine. I haven't been that skinny since I was seven.

Measured at 3/4 of an inch.

Ultra dink. I like that, especially because I fish for them on a regular basis. I have to admit though, that one is really impressive .
That's quite the ultradink, but I've got a challenger for yours Hootie!

I think we at least may have a tie....lol.

There's a lot of "record claiming" here...but my fish is the only one so far that's laid out next to a measuring tape for length verification ...
...just sayin'...

This is true. The bait in my picture is an Xcalibur EEratic shad with overall length of 4 1/2 inches so you can use that for scale lol

Only fish I've ever seen caught on that bait.

That thing is so small it's almost invisible.
I cannot compete on pure size, but mine was caught in the mouth.

How are those shadow rap shads? good lure?
I am putting myself in contention here.

That day it worked for me: caught a small spotted bass. Was the only fish I caught that day. I fish pretty shallow spots and like that they float slowly. They give off a tremendous amount of flash. This was in the heat of the Georgia summer. I see them being more effective as the weather cools and they can be worked like a regular jerkbait.

You can only claim HALF a record.
This may not be the record, but it is definitely a smallmouth. The curious thing is, this bass is 1 year old! It was caught this spring in Northern Wisconsin, before the spawn which means it was born last year! Talk about slow growth rates!
That's half of a 2" grub on a 1/80 oz jighead this little LMB hit, so I'm guessing around 2.5-3"?
