I've always called them gizzard shad.

I say a shad is a shad they're good bait!

i have caught goldeye before and we always go catfishing on a sandbar right down the river from the worthington access ramp. People who are fishing there always have stringers of them, skipjack, and one time when we came up they had caught a pirahna looking thing that was probably released from a fish tank

i caught one saturday around 330 in the after noon it hit my stink bait almost like a bass bait but thank you for the type of fish i was very curious. i looked for hours on the internet and the only ting we found was that it was a "relative to the piranha"

ive probably caught about a dozen of them in white river on white grubs fishing for skipjack or wipers.Caught one 2 days ago. Didnt know what they were either. Just thought they were some kind of baitfish.they ranged from 8" to about 14"
