Minnow ID needed
<p>I caught this guy many many years back in a small weedy lake in central Wisconsin.&nbsp;<br /> I was chasing silversides with a tiny fly under the dock lights at night and caught this.<br /> <br /> I am guessing ID may be impossible, but Id like to have someone take a shot at it.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MKWy-7VpXKw/T39L4h862LI/AAAAAAAAD-0/zBw1v-1-22Q/s700/l86.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 306px; " /></p>

Blacknose shiner...

Wow cool,

Wow cool,
Too bad it was an accidental catch and not some bad ass attempt at targeting a hard to find fish.
Thanks fiddlefish!

Nice ID Fiddle fish, looks

Nice ID Fiddlefish, looks vaguely like an Ozark, I'd like to catch Blacknose fuzz out the background! Doublecheck Weed Shiner range in WI also, but Fiddles probably right.
