Snagged it on the Mississippi River, I never seen anything like it. Mouth is under the head more like a sucker. Pretty slender body. Roughly 5ish pounds.

               Hey that's neat. Quite a nose on it. I call it the Jimmy Durante variety. 

  As Jimmy would say ,

              “All of us have schnozzles... if not in our faces, then in our character, minds or habits. When we admit our schnozzles, instead of defending them, we begin to laugh, and the world laughs with us.”

I think that it is probably a blue sucker. They live in the big rivers.

That's it! Thank you for the help. Knew it was a sucker of some sort.

Yup, blue sucker.  In Missouri, they are found in the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, and have been reported from the lower Gasconade, lower Osage, and lower Current River.  They are evolved to live in strong current, hence the streamlined shape and sickle-shaped fins.  They are apparently a lot rarer than they once were.

Grandpa Always called the Hog-Molly's out of the Current River, but the ones in the current were More golden color. Never saw one like that before.

"Hog mollies" are northern hogsuckers.  A clear water, Ozark stream fish, like several species of redhorse, which the old timers called "yeller suckers".  You'll probably never seen a blue sucker unless you fish the Mississippi a lot.
