Hi Nigle,

I think it's a Gray Chub - sometimes they can display those white spots. Pretty cool looking!

I believe you are right. I looked at some of my older pictures & came across a group of Grey Chubs and one of them has some similar spots!. Somewheres I also have a much better photo of the spotted variation (I just have to find it - not very organized)
