I was in the lake the other day fishing, and when I got out I had 5 or 10 little tiny red things (less than half a centimeter long) sucking on my toes and between my toes, I quickly smashed them and tugged them off with my fingernails. Alot of them still didn't come off and I poured bleach to get them off (only thing I had, because I just finished laundry). Anyway, i'm just wondering what they are because I was bleading pretty bad afterwards, they didn't look like leeches from what I know, i've seen pictures of baby leeches and it didn't look like that, anyone have a clue on what they could be?

Leeches. There are several species - some tiny, some several inches long.

I agree that they are probably leeches. You may need to check with your doctor to make sure that no harm is done.
