Where did you catch it and where does the mouth open?

 

[corino]

I cought it in a local stream and the mouth opens very wide

Some sort of native minnow. Check with your local fish and game, send them the photo. They are usually more than happy to ID local fish. Usually.

Don't be so sure. Keep digging. Many fish look like that.

Looks like a Blacknose dace.
