Compared to fishing, every day at work is boring. :D

Actually, I know about the European bream because:

1) I fished in Europe a little and caught a young bream (skimmer)

2) I have a couple of English friends who taught me a lot about their fish and fishing methods

3) Based on #1 and #2, I got very interested in English/European methods, so I subscribed to several English fishing mags for a few years.

Looks like a big shiner!

I was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking an asian carp or a big shad?

i only know that that is called a bream because of my fishing game on my iphone that had to be developed in europe.

Looks like a river shad, but a little different color.

Common bream - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

looks like a common bream. In the north we call them a gold shiner.
