I would say mullet for sure, nice catch not easy to catch by hook, usually cast net.

I was going with mullet but realized they were fishing a pond in Chicago.

I'd suggest, based on the caudal fin & elongated body form, a large "Shiner" minnow of some sort, perhaps?
Regardless, that's a pretty good catch from a random neighborhood (storm sewer) pond.
Congratulate her for her catch, if you're able...I'm jealous!

Not a Mullet due to it being a freshwater environment.

Not a "Chub" due to a simple look at the width of the head and body..."Chubs" are very stout fish with wider heads & mouths as well as being more cylindrical, or tube shaped through the body whereas a "Shiner" is much compressed laterally through the body, meaning they appear to have mostly flattened sides, not rounded like a sausage, if you will.

This time of year should have most of the "Chub" species(and many others) in prime spawning coloration, unless they have completed their egg-laying endeavors already. That will include a set of "bumps" adorning the face of the males between their upper lip and their eyes(general area) called, tubercles, which disappear post spawn. Anyone who has paid attention to their "Fathead" minnows from the bait shop should know what these tubercles look like, as they show up on the males quite regularly(they spawn repeatedly) as white nubs on their noses.

For anyone curiously interested, take a few minutes and look into the(North American) native cyprinid species to discover how colorful & attractive they can become during the spawning season. They'll hold their own against any saltwater reef fish you'd see in an aquarium store. You might be surprised?

Im going with shiner as well. Have caught them on flys and got one on a crappie jig last fall

MNM.... Great initial posts, Warm Welcome to you, nice to have ya here. I'm looking forward to more of your authoritative input as time goes on, as Im sure the others here do as well. Fish ID's are always interesting to follow, with lots of variety of opinions.
Administration here is actively opposed to posting political content, and moves it into the " attic " section that follows other content at the bottom of each day's postings. To receive it ya must specifically request to do so. I find the attic a great place for everyone to vent their frustrations and enjoy reading it daily, if there is any activity there, but it's not for everyone. You'll also find some rather off color humor there. It's meant to isolate the more sensitive folks from unwanted non angling issues. It works, although being banished to there without access to the rest of the Stage is possible for those who repeatedly violate the general standard behavior that is expected.
Thanks again for your participation. nutz / Maxx
