Found it in the Wisconsin River, in a small pool of water drying up.
Mouth is a bit undershot, so I'm guessing some type of bottom feeder.

Also, how would I go about catching more of these, in a river like the Wisconsin River that is so big and swift current-ed? I found this one by accident pretty much.

Okay, so its a Johnny Darter, is it too small to sex?

IT'S A JOHNNY DARTER!
Had to say it; it's like the first fish I've seen here that I've been able to identify immediately.
