I really ought to know, but I don't, can someone tell me what kind of fish this is? I caught a bass that spit it up....
(I immediately put it on that jig and it was stripped on the first cast)

Or possibly a River Herring ?? (definitely a "shad" of some sort or another)
Does the body of water it came from empty into the ocean ??
A common minnow?
Yeah ... I'm pretty sure they'd be the bait clouds you see. Maybe you can find out if your F&W folks stocked a particular type of Shad in that lake. That would rule out any look-alikes, if there's only one specie stocked ... but, illegal introduction of other species might also be going on.
Kinda looks like a Alewife, too .... but, many of the different Shad species are pretty hard to tell apart.

shad / herring family no doubt , hard to tell positive .
freshly chewed takes away some of the visual markings and such .
the eye seems quite large , that might indicate something .
