Going down.




Coming up.



The prize.
After much research I think the catch is a Brassy Minnow in breeding finery. A better photo of the same species
is at: http://www.pbase.com/hayl/image/156320693
It's a common minnow although I've never seen one caught before. Shiner minnows are the species more numerous in the pond.
