Sorry if this is in the wrong place.  I am still learning my way around.  I was fishing in a small creek on my grandparents property in central Indiana.  This creek feeds Cicero Creek then in to Morse Reservoir. I was hoping for some pan fish but all I caught was these little guys and I don't know what they are.  The largest one I caught was around 6 inches.  Can anyone identify it or point me to the right resource to identify it.  All of the resources I found only list the popular sport and eating fish around.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Looks like a creek chub to me

 

I believe your shiner is a tad too big for that 1/8oz jig

Looks like the creek chubs we have around here. They're excellent bait for walleye and catfish. I've never tried to eat one but I'd imagine you could.

I don't think I would eat one.  I was just having some fun.

 

After some googling creek chub I agree that is what they were.  Thanks for all the replies!

From what I've seen, they can get about double that size and trout fisherman regularly catch them on flies.

They do make great bait for bass and catfish though.
