I caught a shiner today for the first time in many years and experienced something rather strange that I had nearly forgotten about. Everytime I handle them I seem to get a sort of dizzy spell. I used to catch them all the time as a kid and they would always leave scales all over my hands (though the one today did not) I read that this is common but I still confused by the dizziness. It's never happened with any other kind of fish fresh or salt. Anyone heard of or experienced this?

LOL nostalgia... I don't get dizzy every time I listen a Green Day song. But this is really strange. From now on, use gloves?
Yeah its really weird. I have no idea why it happens. Today it was very brief and couldve just been that I had been hunched down on the balls of my feet for awhile when I stood up to re-bait, but previously it was a very distinctive thing that sometimes lasted a couple minutes.
