Seems to have more of a pointy snout than a trout.

Pike minnow aka squawfish

Thanks, Good eating?

Well, a few of us tried one a few years ago. All I can say is that you can eat if it you want to.

Thanks. 

Use a cedar plank. Clean, gut, gill and scale the squawfish. Oil, salt pepper and put the fish on the plank. Put sliced onions, carrots, and a bunch of dill on fish. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes.   Remove from oven. Take to trash can, scrape everything off into the can, and eat the board.

LMAO!

Hahahhaahahaha! Wow spike the pike minnow into the round file... Funny stuff there!

Bonny but definitely edible, similar to carp I would say, I had them both.
Keep in mind that carp is considered a delicacy in many countries, and that bluefin tuna was considered trash fish 40 years ago or so.

That's my recipe for carp

That's great!

Could be a Hardhead minnow.  There are a few differences between Hardhead and  Sacramento pikeminnow; the easiest way to tell is to pull the upper lip outward from the head, if it has a frenum (bridge of skin) it is a Hardhead, if the lip doesn't pull away and has no bridge of skin it is a Sac. pikeminnow.  No matter which one it is, the boys are right, eat the cedar plank!
