One time my brother caught this drum like fish called a mooneye. Description: Glowing little bug eyes, small teeth and silver colored like a whitebass.

Hmm... I've never thought of a mooneeye to look like that, but now that I think of it, I can see the resemblance that you are talking about.
Tight lines.

Wait till you catch a goldeye.  It's almost similar only it can get much larger.

yea a mooneye is pretty much just a shad if i remember correctly.  i caught a few on the mississippi by la crosse wi....caught a big flathead on it once we cut it up!   caught a pretty big mooneye too, but ive never seen teh gold eye or whatever you call em.  that looks pretty much the same though...

run with walleye-be with nature

Ice fishing and Mooneye's chasing and biting Salmo Chubby Darters is a blast.

ive always heard them to be called siver and golden roaches. the are very oily fish and r great for cut bait. have caught them on lakes and rivers in wis.
