Scale pattern and fins look like a carp.

Fallfish.  I've caught them up to 15-16" in Saratoga lake, sometimes on a tipup with a minnow.

Definitely a Fallfish. Scientific name: Semotilus corporals.  I caught one two weeks ago at Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire on a live smelt in 4 fow. Mine was 15 inches but they do get bigger.

Yeah, fall fish!

The bigger they get, the harder they fight!

Never too old to learn.  I agree with the majority, Fallfish.
