I think it is a Bayou Topminnow

I now have whole new missions in mind! I looked up topminnows based on your comment. I saw a Russetfin Topminnow. The pictures look so similar to the Bayou that now I'm wondering if i threw back other species thinking they were the same kind.What are differences between the Bayou and Russetfin that I can look for?

From what I can tell, the russetfin has very organized, small spots, and the females lack the vertical dashes seen in your pictures. Based on the large dark markings I would lean towards Bayou, but they are almost identical species, so it could be either one.

Ok, cool. I'll pay close attention next time. Thank you for all the help!
