+1, that's why I was asking for a side pic ;). Many cyprinids get them, and they all serve the same purpose. I caught a very pretty creek chub recently, and that pic looks to have a fish with a fair bit of color.
In the stream feeding out of Dalecarlia reservoir in DC we used to shock up a lot of fathead minnows that had tons of tubercles from what I recall.

Your fallfish may actually have been a creek chub, fwiw. Can't tell from that pic and they are very similar anyway. I know creek chubs get the bumps on the head for sure, but I don't know about fallfish. As others have said, the bumps on the head have something to do with spawning. I used to fish for them as a kid with a 3 foot line attached to a stick and a caddis pupa for bait. The spawning run was a blast, lol.
