Shad ID

Type: Nontidal
Region: Central
Location: Patapsco river, Avalon

I hooked up this shad last Sunday. I wonder what kind of the shad this is. Can you ID this fish for me?

DNR Response: You caught a Gizzard Shad. They are a resident species found in fresh and lower salinity estuarine waters. They are an abundant species in many of our tidal rivers and creeks, but rarely take a baited hook. Most often they are snagged by fishermen targeting other species.
