Not much to go on deadrift,
I would guess that it was a creek chub of some sort. Did it have any barbs on it's head? Some times male chubs get small barbs on top of their heads. Sort of have stripes on the side also. They only get to around 7 or 8 inches max. They like to school a lot also, we have a lot of them around here in PA. If not a chub, maybe a fallfish? Check out your local fisheries on line if you can, I'm sure you can find it some where. Hope this helps a little.Later, Dave
