Jumbo Jumbo Minnows!

I thought I needed to share. So I went to Mike's bait in Oakland earlier today looking to buy some jumbo minnows for tomorrow. I get up to the counter and I see some jumbo minnows in his tank, I proceed to ask him "to mike u got any jumbo minnows?" He replies "nah man I'm all out." I'm thinking Wtf? lol so I ask him what were those swimming in his tank. He then goes "oh those ain't jumbos, they're jumbo jumbos." I couldn't stop laughing inside. to be honest, these minnows were definitely bigger than your jumbo minnows. here's a pictures of a jumbo vs jumbo jumbos. you be the judge.

Those are bigger than your goldfish

I have caught golden shiners out of ponds that were 6-7 inches with my fly rod. When they get lose into large bodies of water, they turn into an actually fairly good looking fish. They are absolute hell on a LMB nest, far worse than bluegill ever thought of being.

Picture don't really do it justice but the smaller one is 5", the bigger one is twice its size.

Coyote Bait and Tackle down here in the south bay sometimes gets super jumbo minnows that are 6-8 inches and I thought that was large. 

Twice the size of a 5 incher is incredible!  Heck, you could fry them up and eat 'em.
