The other day I tried targeting the 2 inch minnow species I saw hanging out in the weeds. End up landing a few Longnose Dace. Never caught one with the hook itself, but they would bite onto the rubber band worm and I was able to "land" the fish
Do you think this counts as a fish caught or 'angled' ??
Have trapped minnow species but thats a different list than the species caught by fishing list. Should this count as a fish angled or should I go back with a smaller hook and try again?
hellz ya it counts, a tip for you if you want to catch those little buggers. tiny #18 hook tipped with a maggot and a tiny fly fishing float. every where i go i see them and target them on a regular basis or my back up species if the game fish are not cooperating. like the old days of a piece of willow some line a hook and a float with a bucket of worms when i was growing up.

X2. I was going to suggest a size # 22 and maggot using 1/2 lb. test thread for line.
Over the pond in Great Britain or somewhere around there they have a fishing derby for the smallest fish. Maybe we need a minnow derby here.
You could use a dead dacy minnow for bait. I used to catch a few minnows before fishing the lakes for game species.
