What Fish Is This?
Caught this fish in the Columbia River at Fairmont and am unsure of it's species. I am pretty sure this is not a Squaw, as I have caught many. I have been looking everywhere for an answer and have yet to have one. Thanks

Good catch with the adipose fin.
Could it be the 'look-alike' of the Squawfish, the Peamouth (Mylocheilus caurinus)?

It has the mouth of a lake whitefish but the lack of an adipose fin kind of rules that out?

Thanks!
Thanks guys! I think I am able to conclude that this fish is a Peamouth Chub
also known as Mylcheilus caurinus. Thanks for the help
