Fish Identification

I went fishing in lower Big Gunpowder Falls this weekend in MD. I caught a couple of these little guys with corn and one with a worm. I'm not completely sure what kind of species this is. Can anyone help me out?

looks to be in the sucker family

I would think so, but its head looked more like a trout head, and not so much of a "sucker."

Fallfish... Tons of them in that area and all the creeks around there...

Fall fish.......dynamite flathead catfish bait

Fallfish, eh?

So I doubt they're edible.

Right?

I have no idea if they are edible or not......the catfish seem to like them though

We call them creek chubs around here. Full of bones and mud.
