looking for help / a picture

[Micropterus salmoides]

Late last fall (our type of fall), one of the spots I like to fish, I was catching some nice sacalait and every one was full of a bait fish I had never seen. I'd like to replicate it in jig form, but kicking myself for not ever have taken a photo. And now I can't find a picture anywhere.
It was an oblong minnow rather than stream line and was majority white with very distinctive black stripes running perpendicular to it's body length. Reminded me of a zebra so I always called it a zebra minnow. I'd usually use a bobby garland baby shad in monkey milk color for my best match. Anybody have any idea of what Im talking about?

One more try

It's probably a member of the Dace family. There is a Southern Red Belly Dace that has a stripe down it's side. Lot of chubs are in the family. I'd type in Dace and you'll probably find it there.

Here is a link or two for you that might help. http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/fishing/aquatic-species and Texas Freshwater Fishes. I think that Jungle jim is right. He ties a jig with a mallard flank that might just fit the bill. If you serch the threads you can find pictures of them. I have saved the pictures and have tried to duplicate the jig with no success. Jim has it down pat and it looks like a super crappie getter. But look thur the links and I am sure the you can come up with what was in those fishes bellies.

Appreciate everyone's help very much. Just gon make a run back, when I get some time, and catch a few and go from there. I've researched enough. You'd think having worked an Icthyology lab, that I'd be more particular with notes..
Thx again.

Hello Adam, if you do get a specimen or pic of that baitfish, I bet I know someone who could replicate it. LOL Gary talked very highly of you.

If you do find what you are looking for, please post a photo on here. I am sure that Skip or Fatman can replicate it too.

Sounds like the pea mouth chubs we have here.
