What is this?

Not sure where to post this. Caught this back in 2008. I assume it is a RUDD due to the colors?

Not a Rudd, but a Golden Shiner. A native minnow.

Awesome. Thanks for the id.

I caught one of those ice fishing on south lindstrom lake once, ended up being the biggest fish of the day.

Great I'd, I wasn't sure either!

Are they found all over MN?

Yup, I've caught em all over the state. They love small jigs & waxies. There's a pond in the west metro where a guy can catch those all day long. I have about 20 dozen in my freezer, vacuum sealer for bait. No live minnows allowed in NoDak and those 8-12" goldies work GREAT for pike under a tipup!
