What is it?
On the Osage cuaght this.has a mouth full of teeth. Thinking some type of shad?
There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

Without pic guessing skipjack. They are light colored, long and skinny. Fight really good. The other fish with lots of teeth are walleye or sauger which are dark colored. Other than gar these are the ones I can think of with lots of teeth.

Actually that may be a gold eye. look at this link for gold eye. Holts Summit angler catches state-record goldeye | Missouri Department of Conservation
MO state record for a goldeye fish was set this spring weighing 2 lbs and 17 1/4 inches.
Sorry I can't get the link for the MDC for some reason. Ok now

Agree with above we call them golden eyes. Catfish bait. Oh northern pike like them too but not exactly legal as bait.

Yup mooneye or golden eye. I Catch lots of em every year, as they are great bait. Don't freeze for crap so use them fresh and use a good rod holder!
When the mayflies are hatching in our rivers, you will see all the mayflies clustered on leaves and branches along the bank, the moon eyes are stacked underneath and fishing with a light wire crappie hook under a float, using a couple fat mayflies for bait, it a pretty good time. Another place to get them is when the mulberries are dropping along the banks of creeks and small rivers. They gather under overhanging limbs and gobble up the berries.

Darleen, here is a pic of a skipjack. This one is frozen and from Tennessee but I catch them in the Missouri, the Osage and the Mississippi, too. Skippies , also called Tennessee tarpon or blue back herring. They have a blue-ish purple back, the mouth looks just like a miniature tarpon, and they fight an amazing fight. Lots of tailwalking and drag screaming runs. ... And you often hook 2-3 at a time, and are commonly over 2 lbs, so catching them is a blast! When you get on a really good skippie bite, it is unlike any other fishing around! You better bring some spare fishing line and plan on having to respool because they twist up a line and break you off a lot.
Mooneye and skips have a very similar body shape as they are both herrings, moon eyes are all silver and have the teeth, skippies don't.
