Wierd Catfish Species Caught

[ihuntforfish]

I caught this in the river that feeds lake mead from lake las vegas - He was in a shallow pool with a partner, protecting a condensed black cloud of fry. I watched him for a few minutes and noticed him aggressively chasing off some little bait fish. So I got out a mini green bucktail jig and rubbed it in some soft plastics of mine that are garlic scented - I dropped it right down into the fry and he attacked it! I pulled him in, and for the first time at lake mead I had no clue what the hell was on my hook! It looks like a flat head to me, but its pretty small and I think its full-size. No fork in the tail, small spines in the pectoral fins, didn't bite, tiny eyes, long barbels, dark and light spots, big mouth...I have no idea, might be another aquarium fish
