I think it is a white armur. My buddy thinks it is a shad. I'd like to let IFO decide.

Hmm didn't occur to me that it could be a golden shiner. I've used them for tip up bait but didn't realize that they grew to 10" or bigger. I'm gonna check with the owner of the pond and see if he ever dumped excess lake bait in there.

I read online they can grow up to 12" and that they live in ponds.
