    Sorry, guys I just saw this. (I'm an AGFC fisheries biologist). I wish I could see the head without the finger in the mouth, but I'm 95% sure it's a striped shiner. It is in full breeding regalia with the color, and the knobs on the head.

    Hawgdog, did it look a lot like this?

    By the way, this is an extremely common fish in our streams and rivers. I've seen them up to 12" and caught them on light tackle before.
