Well what about walleye or a sauger, they are pretty aggressive. If you don't mind something a little smaller a yellow perch. Yellow perch have great colors for a cold water fish. Even a rock bass might be cool.

I don't know if they are legal to keep, but your native squawfishes (Ptychocheilus) species are spectacular large pike-like minnows. The giant Colorado squawfish is endangered and certainly unavailable, but the Sacramento squawfish may be legal to keep. It reaches about 36", sometimes more.
