I’ve only hooked into little tiny guys before. Just curious. Such an ugly fish.

That’s a ~~creek~~ hornyhead chub. Males get those horns on their head when they get larger. And he thinks you’re ugly, too. Please be nice to the practice trout.

Creek chub, not a sucker. I believe they get the bumps when spawning.

Those would be Nuptial tubercles.
They are something that appear on spawning male fish. Supposedly it has something to do with showing off health and attracting mates.

That’s not a Creek Chub, it doesn’t have a black dot on its dorsal fin.
It is a species of chub in the Nocomis Genus, hornyhead chubs! Location will help determine Species
Edit: just to clarify, it’s not a Hornyhead Chub, it’s a member of a group called Hornyhead Chubs. Another commenter said Bluehead Chub based on tubercle patterns

Others have answered your question. I just want to say solid choice of rooster tail. My very favorite for creek fishing.

Pretty sure they popup when the fish are mating. The males get that

Creek Chub males get horny during the spring. Teeheehee
But, for real, they’re called tubercles and grow in during spawning for fighting off potential competition for mates.

This is a bluehead chub from the tubercle patter and red eye, definitely not a creek chub though they can also get tubercles as will most minnows
