What species is this?

Attachment 198939
Usually pretty good at fish ID but caught this little fella out of a farm pond in Dickenson county and threw me for a loop.

That's a BIG MINNER!

Looks like a Golden Shiner

It is a Golden shiner. You can find more info at http://fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesS...=golden+shiner .

Thanks Craig was caught in a farm pond that is not connected to any major river or creek seemed kind of weird.

The golden shiners can be introduced via angler bait bucket as they are a commonly sold baitfish and can establish self sustaining populations.
