Carp or White Sucker? - BiggJohn - 08-27-2013

I am fishing in western Maryland in non-tidal waters (streams). I caught one of these fish a few weeks ago (a little bigger then the attached picture) and my son caught this fish 3 days ago.
At the time I caught it I looked online to find out what kind of fish it was and I came to the conculsion that it was a White Sucker or a Carp.
I am Confused because it looks like a carp but without the whiskers.
But I am also Confused because the suckers I have caught also have that odd looking, rounded mouth that points down.
Can anyone help?
