It is a native minnow to Clear Lake. My question, what lure or bait did it eat? The link below discusses history of blackfish on Clear Lake.

Barbels (whiskers) will not sting you. The boney rays (spines of fins) will puncture your skin and leave infections. Use an old towel to hold fish when taking the hook out. Good luck fishin.
