What fish is this?

[Steve92]

Went fishing and caught this on the illinois River. Don’t know the species though. Anyone ?

[CaptAZ]

I have absolutely no idea, but it looks like a good catch

[jonathanlee213]

Maybe a hybrid, white or striped bass?

[Girlinterrupted]

Goldeye maybe?

[Blondie1x]

No idea but fantastic catch!!!

My fish identifier app says it is this.

And yes I have all sorts of random identifier apps on my phone

It’s a grey mullet.
The belly shape is wrong for an gizzard shad.

Flathead grey mullet

I drove over the Illinois yesterday on the 67. It’s a pretty river and a lovely bridge Now you’re making me want to buy a fishing pole!

Yeah… Young mooneye looks like it wins this round.
Juveniles have that sleeker belly like in your photo.
