Minnow ID help? (PICS)

[carlcmc]

Used a minnow trap for the first time successflly in a small creek leading into the zumbro river. A handful of dogfood produced these. The small ones were normal size but then there were these two bigger ones. Do minnows grow this big? or what do you think they are? they were 4-5" i guess

By the looks of the pics they look like standard creek chubs. Chubs are just larger fat heads we use for walleyes I do believe. Those larger ones make great cat bait.

chubs they are. I've seen people catch large ones while trout fishing thinking they were trout.

Many years ago 3 of us were doing some remote camping little to no food and fishing was bad. Well we needed to eat and, I think you get the picture. Not as bad as I thought it might be.

Was in the bait bus for yrs. and they are chubs but they are not related to fatheads. I have caught fatheads that were up to 6 and1/2 inches long though.

The big one in the upper left is definately a Chub, middle and upper right, look like a really big crappie minnow (Whatever type they are?) and a super duper steroidal crappie minnow, but the little dude in the lower right looks like a little trout, especially in the first picture?
