[#0000FF]Got a response back from Chris. His guess is spottail shiner. They were one of the experimental species planted way back when.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF][/#0000FF]Picture ID is always difficult, but I'm thinking that picture of the foul hooked fish is of a spottail shiner. I can just barely make out the spot near the tail. It's hard to judge size of fish from the stomach picture, but I think it also looks like more spottails in the wiper stomach. I suppose some could also be bass fingerlings. The size of fish appears to be a bit too big for walleye stocked as fry this year and too small for walleye stocked last year as those fish are already about 10-12". [#0000FF][/#0000FF]
