Can anyone tell what kind of fish this is from?

How far northwest? If close enough to lake Superior, maybe a lake whitefish. If not very close to lake Superior or other deep lakes, possibly a white sucker or quillback, which I grew up calling a sheepshead.

Scroll through this and you can check out the whiter fish with larger scales.

What should we call this one then?

I dunno, how Lake Whitefish?

Well, I guess that’s the name then
