Welcome to the Forum, butch. Where abouts in MN. I don't know what that fish is but, I do know I wouldn't eat it. I would say that it is from the shad family. Maybe a cisco, I have never caught a cisco in the Miss.

South east MN I am thinking it could be a mooneye which is not to eat.

SHAD. There may be some nicknames but I think it is definitely a Shad.

Here in the quad cities on the Mississippi we call them skip jacks and moon eyes!
They are very boney! Not fit to eat but great for cut bait for cat fishing!
I have witnessed Oriental people boiling them in water on the river banks and eating them!
Count me out! 🤮
