I agree all around except for the blacktail shiner.

I think your "blacktail shiner" may be a white bass (common mistake anyone could make) but your other ID's look good. I've never heard of madtoms schooling with bullhead fry!

My first thought was a baby Striped Bass, but I can't say I've seen a juvenile of either species.

It's a Morone species, but I cant really tell which one either. It's not very stripey nor yellow, so that leaves white, which is the predominant one in that area.

Don't know if I have ever seen one that size in life. Same with shortnose gar, nobody reports finding juvenile shortnose. Where do the young live? Juvenile flathead catfish are riffle dwellers, who would think? I often wonder about the juveniles I rarely see versus adults that are common to see.Where are they hiding?

Often wonder the same thing. Unless I'm out with Dustin, and then I just wonder why every stream we go to is devoid of any fish life whatsoever...

Not cocky. Just saying that any time I got out with Knepley, my nets come up empty.
