Never seen a grayling before, but I just looked it up. Good call! Really really cool looking fish. That dorsal fin is awesome! Makes me wish I had a cold water tank! Good suggestion!
How about the uglyest fish in North America?

I'd say the creek chub, when you're trying to pull a hook from it, and it's rubbery and croaking and foaming at the mouth. Disgusting fish.
Burbot wins this catagory, all that slime just nasty
but prettiest, definately darters, pygmy sunfish or some of the longears
I'll bite:
Colorado Pikeminnow - It's a large Carnivorous Minnow. Points for being a Predacious Cyprinid.
Northern Pikeminnow - It's a large Carnivorous Minnow.
Gars - Crococilian characteristics, adaptable, interesting body shape and patterns, and the fact that it's primitive.
Bowfin - Primitive. Means of locomotion. Patterning. And just the overall look.
Esox Pikes - Pattern and Carnivore features. True FW Barracudas.
Paddlefish - Primitive. And it's the friggin' lovechild of the Basking Shark and Sawfish. With less sharpness.
Walleye - Nice looking fish, period.
Trout/Salmon - I just like their life histories and body forms. I can't really give specifics, as I'd like to familiarize myself with species beyond Brown and Rainbow Trout and Atlantic Salmon.
Bonytail - An interesting Cyprinid.
Humpback Chub - Another interesting Cyprinid.
Razorback Sucker - Cool looking fish.
After all, they do say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
