today i hit a local pont for bass. the bassin was pretty good untill i burned out all my spots as what normally happens. not wanting to leave i decided to go for bluegill. the rig i was using was pretty imporovized. i had a rapala as a bobber and about 3 feet behind that was a small hook with small gulp waxworms that i use for ice fishing. i was catching one about every other cast. then i caught what at first looked to be a small carp. then after close examination i figured that it wasn't. it has a sort of greenish back and a whiteish belly, the mouth was also different. does anybody know what this could be?

I agree. It's a very large golden shiner. Probably about 3-4 years old. I stock them in a pond annually as forage fish and people catch them on worms.
