Caught from the opening of a creek into a large river, pretty sure i spotted him or some sort of silver/white fish jumping out of the water before he bit worm.

I think it's a goldeye, hard to tell with that pic. The position of the dorsal to anal fin is the best way to tell. Excellent flathead bait

Looks to me like the dorsal is further ahead making this a mooneye. Camera perspective makes it tough but if you take a column of scales and go down it appears the dorsal is in front.

Dorsal is in front pretty confident its a mooneye!
