almost looks like a fathead minnow, but i'd say gizzard shad

That's a threadfin shad, sometimes called yellow tails.

threadfin you can see the threadfin on the dorsal, the yellow fins and lateral line.

Some of the best bait for rockfish and cats.

it has an underhooked jaw as well. gizzard has a more rounded nose.

Sheesh. I'd hate to see the stripper that's interested in a threadfin shad...

Might smell fishy. Just sayin

And another vote for threadfin.

The preferred bait of big smallmouth, stripers, hybrid and just about anything below Wheeler dam. Yellowtail shad.
