Welcome to the Forum, Desperado. I would like to name that fish "Fatty". I don't know, I would say that it is a member of the freshwater drum family, a carp, a sheephead, I haven't caught one for so long that I have forgotten what they look like.

It looks like what we call a Golden Shiner. We use them for bait.

Though it looks like "a good fish that at to much",or the size of a shiner.This fish was about a pound.

I thought probably a golden eye or moon eye shiner.

It is in the Shiner family. I used to catch them in my pond and we called them Silver Roach. They are not edible and will take one a pond or small lake.

Looks like a carp to me.

I think it is a type of roach called a rud. A big one too.

If I'm correct, it is a very boney fish unfit for the table. Also, an enemy to more desirable fishes. I've mostly caught them in farm ponds and as a kid was taught to kill them on sight.

Kill them every time you catch one.

Looks like a very large golden shiner. Pike and bass will tear them up under a big bobber.

Having been born and raised in N E Pa. I can tell you it is a golden shiner . I used to catch & release many on the Delaware river while fly fishing. They are considered trash fish or bait fish, they can get around 10 inches long. I now reside in S W Wis. and love it.
