i am almost certain it is a brassy but would like to confirm it. i caught it micro fishing in the vermilion river, other similar species found here include: fathead minnow, creek chub and bluntnose minnow.

Im not familiar with the brassy but it looks like a young creek chub to me.

The scales look too small and crowded to be a brassy minnow. Here is your fish (I rotated the picture):

And here is a picture of a brassy minnow from the Wisconsin Fish ID page:
