first green sunfish may possibly be a juvenile white crappie. If a
gsf it is thin and pale, with the dorsal fin origin far back. the
other green sunfish is correct. minnow 1c (and the other pictures of
it, as posted later) may possibly be a pugnose minnow. Could the
spotted gar be a longnose? Can't really tell how long the snout is
relatively to the rest of the head in the photo (only a part of the
snout shows in the photo), but the pattern is consistent with a
fingerling longnose.
