    Looks like a bluegill. Not a crappie.

    Agreed not a crappie.. It looks like a faded/washed out redear sunfish. It looks like a meal for the predators the living in Castaic..

    I'm guessing it's a bluegill that is scared white from all the stripers...

    No ifs and or buts it is a pale bluegill. You can tell it is not a redear because there is no red outline on the gill spot. When bluegill or any other species of fish are in a lower oxygen environment they will get pale as in the case of the fish in the picture.
