sunup:
Carp belong to the minnow family, whitefish are part of the salmon family.  Just don't ask me why, I don't know.  Whitefish sure look more minnow than salmon.  It sounds like you have a whitefish.  Post a pic so we can see.

CHfish:
for a picture of the whitefish, go to this web site:

The ones that I know look like the third one from the bottom.
