no problem! Check out the Audubon Field Guide for freshwater fish, its one of the best field guides for fish and its really easy to learn from (i.e. lots of pictures)

I'm willing ti bet thats a black bullhead. Note the caudal fin- it is not forked at all, but is rather blunt, an indicative sign of a bullhead catfish
