Caught a fish in Indiana last spring at Solomonie Lake,dont know what it was?

Me and my GF brother went fishing last spring at Solomonie Lake and caught these fish below the dam that were definitely carp/carp sucker family. We caught them on nightcrawler. They looked like a chunkier version of a creek chub but the head to gills had a redish pink tint to it, and the rest of the body looked like creek chub colors.The head also had what looked like little spikes on it head.We caught 5+ of them. Ive seen a lot of carp species but this was new to me. They looked like they would make good flathead bait.

    I have also caught similar chubs to those, i believe there are so many types of chubs and suckers that they have interbred into slightly different types. I will say that all chubs are wonderful flathead bait. Get the biggest ones you can catch and hook them through the tail. One things for sure chubs aren't good for anything else in my book.
