Beat this! Smallest fish EVER! :lol:
I discovered this little guy caught through the tail after cleaning some weeds off the hook today. He was still alive and suprisingly feisty. I released him gently but unfortunately a frog go him. :lol:

that is too funny. glad a frog got him because that is a stickleback and they can multiply till they starve a lake of oxygen and kill all other fish.

Tree compared it to his trunk, and the results were surprising!

Looks like your " handling " him a little rough there.
Just kidding, nice catch.

Where did you hear such a thing? No, this is not possible. Sticklebacks are tolerant of low oxygen (along with Fathead minnows) and therefore are often the only species of fish found in a body of water. They survive low oxygen, they don't cause low oxygen!
FYI, there are two species of sticklebacks that are native to numerous water bodies in AB (the 9 Spined stickleback and Brook stickleback), they are not an 'invasive species', but that does not mean they should ever be transported live or used as bait except in the waters from which they came (if even legal there).
A third species, the 3 Spined stickleback occurs only in Hasse Lake where it was illegally introduced. It has likely caused a reduction in Brook stickleback abundance in Hasse, but is predated on by trout, birds, insects and amphibians.
