I'm really bad at iding fish.
Anyway, it was about 4" long, it was a little brownish on top, fading into silver. All along its body it had black dots.
I think it is either a lake trout or brown, but I can't find a good picture anywhere.

Do you have a pic?

I have a few, but they're blurry, and I tried to post them but it says the file is too large.
Unfortunately, it jumped out of the bucket, even when I had a lid on and killed itself.

Do you have any photo editor? I'm sorry but without a pic this can not and will not even begin to be ID'd to anything.

Ya, I'll try that tomorrow.

P.S. I'm at 100 posts.

Here's the best picture I have of it.
This is the only picture of it, and it is after it had died.
I figured out, I only have 4.88 MB to post pictures, so I had to delete some of the other pictures.

It's a brown trout. Red in the adipose fin, white/pale margins around the spots.

That's what I thought.
I need better resources for identifying fish.

If you go back and delete all of you photos, the threads can be rendered useless. I can't help but notice the above trout photo is over 29" in actual size. Photos this size are not necessary, slow the loading of threads for users and take up much of your space. If you resize the photos, I think you'll find the available space is plenty.

You don't need Photoshop to edit photos; a size of 6" x 8" is plenty, with a resolution of 72 dpi. It takes some practice to figure out good ways to groom digital images.

If you Google "free photo editor" you'll come up with tons of free and easy to use options.

And in addition to the above.. toss this in the garbage or just cut it up to make a colorful poster... This book is useless.

While I'm posting some photos, I have some minnows that I can't figure out.
I cropped these, and they still appear really big, but they take up a lot less MB.

It's got some nice pictures in it, but all fish look different, so it's really hard to tell.

I'm not great with i.d.s particularly from michigan... but they looks like Cyprinella to me... maybe venusta...

There is a list of michigan fish if you go to the Michigan DNR website.

top fish appears to be Semotilus atromaculatus (smallish scales, large mouth, "pencil thin moustache"), bottom fish is Pimephales notatus (mouth, even out of focus, is too small for Cyprinella; the short 1st dorsal ray and pattern are diagnostic).

Your pictures are getting better - practice, practice, practice!

Those were taken a long time ago.
I was lucky to get a picture of both since they don't stop moving. They've learned that when I come, they get food, sometimes.
I have some really amazing pictures of my fathead minnow, white sucker, lmb, smb, rock bass, banded killi, and warmouth, so I think I'm pretty good at taking pictures.
