What is this Fish?

Yep, central mudminnow. It's interesting that they aren't in the same order as minnows. Rather, they're in the same order as pike! Esociformes

Looks like a central mudminnow to me as well.

Wow it always amazes me the number of beautiful fish that are native to my area not to mention ones like this mudminnow which get used for bait.

thank you for the positive I.D, I appreciate you and everyone else who helped figure this out.

Yes definitely an under appreciated part of the hobby (though I am a little bias )
