Most of the small BG I catch are 1-1.5", but yeah, I caught a small female the other day on one of the largest BG that we'd netted.

Also I think I'm noticing that my bass are waging war on the largest shiners in the pond, at least during feeding time. The 1" BG they seem to not even care about. Every time I see them chasing something it's the 4"+ shiners.
