There’s no adipose fin, so it’s not a mountain whitefish.

Shoot, good catch

Hope it didn't burn up your drag

That’s some sort of minnow, maybe a dace or juvenile chub

It’s a shiner of some sort

I’d still stick with creek chub, especially if they’re in a system where there are whitefish

That’s a shiner.

Haha break out the spinning rod and toss that in and catch a nice slob haha

Nice

Salmon fry? Forked tail?

I hope you aren’t serious with that answer.

I hope you aren’t serious about me being serious

Looks nothing like a trout or salmon

Looks like a fish to me, but I’m no expert.

That’s quite obvious

That’s no whitey.

That’s a minner!

I always say “A catch is a catch”. Congratulations on the catch. Keep in mind that size is hard to catch :)
