Caught this on a trap (in the mouth!) on Tyler today. Has long fins like a bowfin but the mouth shape doesn’t look right. Mouth and fins don’t look right to be a glass minnow. Thoughts?![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/12/full-52073-34659-77f0c0cf_8196_405a_b751_02af6f22f97d.jpeg)

Interesting. Hard to find any info on them in Texas lakes but that’s definitely what it is. Thanks.

On toledo I had a bunch of these spit up in the livewell from bass. Called an "inland silverside".

Ghost Minnow, They can be easily seined. Great bait for catching Hybrids and Sandbass

From Sam Rayburn May 2018 looks like a ghost minnow. Hit an area with schools of this and bass chomping
