Caught what looks to be a carp but mouth like a trout. Could it be a giant
skipjack? It came from the Ohio River and weighed over 23 lbs.

It looks to me like an Asian Grass Carp. Check out this link and scroll
down to the photo of three carp together.

Most likely a Grass Carp (White Amur)

If not, possibly Black Carp.
I don't suppose you have another photo that shows the head?
How did you catch him?

Caught him on a white curly tail jig next to a rocky bank below a hot water
discharge.

Thanks you for the info.
I had no idea they were carnivorous
despite their size and mouth. I had always thought all
they ever ate was algae and plants.
