Caught this fish today and have no idea what it is...i've been fishing this area for 25 years and have never seen one...caught in southern wisconsin.

To me it looks like a large goldfish, minus the color. That would be my guess.

carp... i'de agree its likely a common comet. their native color is what you have there that bronzy color.

Dorsal and tail fins are wrong for a comet or carp...not to mention the upward angled mouth...

Goldfish comes in different shapes and finnages. This is a wild goldfish.

I started looking at carp. Asian carp specifically. I think its a grass carp.

Doesn't look like a grass carp. I'd have to agree with wild goldfish/comet or some variation

Looks similarly structured to one of the comets I had. My money's on goldfish

It's a goldfish. The mouth is normal for the goldfish. The dorsal fin looks like it's shredded and an old injury which that could explained why the dorsal fin is short....probably from a heron then drop a goldfish in the lake.
