I'm still working on my own retrieve technique, and finaly actually caught a fish on an artificial lure last month. Got a very nice bluegill, on a small plastic frog. I think it was just easier for me to visualize how a frog would move in the water. Before this my main retrieve was to try to reel the lure in as fast as possible. I sort of forgot that I wasn't trying to catch Marlin. My only complaint is that, people often talk about fishing with lures, but never actually explain the retrieve. I've been trying to use retrieves like I play with my cats with, those feather on a string toys. Very nice fish, and I agree the small fish are very fun.

There are three possibilities: A. Sometimes these brook perch feed on crawdads along the bottom. When they attack the prey with a big gulp sometimes they get fine bits of gold dust in their mouth and it collects on the teeth. Panning for gold is a good way to make extra money in Korea. I do this in secret by telling the local mountain bandits that I'm digging for piss clams. B. The brook perch smashed my "gold beadhead woolly bugger" fly so hard that the gold paint came off on its teeth. C. Could be the sunlight, or camera flash, or the angle of the shot. Jack– they could be.
