Does anyone know what type of fish this is? My friend caught it in one of the run off ponds we fish for bass in. It looks like a shad to me............. I thought it might be a carp, but it didn't have a carp like lip

White fish maybe not sure iv seen and caught them around here or something similure I just say its a minnow on steroids and toss it back

Without knowing where you live or if you have these type of fish. It definitely looks like a Golden Shiner. http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecology/golden_shiner.htm

One of the best best big bass live bait you can use. These typically cost about $15-$18 per dozen for 6"-10" Wild Golden Shiners. I used to have some spots for cast netting these guys but with the water so low the shiners have moved out until the water comes back up.

It looks like a shiner to me.

Wow I didn't even think of shinners me and my childhood buddy used to cast net them suckers all the time for catfish and pike bait. There all over here in new york some get big like that one along with alewife

I looked up species of Shiners and it almost looks exactly like a common shiner

looks like an American Shad to me.

Golden shiner

yep we sell those as bait at the shop deff. a shiner should have rigged that sucker up live!

I was gonna say one of the bigger species of shad but now that some of u mention it it does look like a shiner

kinda looks like a chub to me

Shiner, I've caught some close to a foot long out of ponds on inline spinners and small crankbaits. Great big bass bait.

That is a golden shiner for sure!!!!

definitly a golden shiner. i use them on lake tohopekaliga when i go down to Florida

I'd have rigged that big ol' Golden Shiner up, and fished for a MONSTER Bass !

Used to catch them in Louisiana when I was a kid.

I thought they were extinct since I am so old now.
