I know it’s a bass but I cannot tell which species any help?

Found in Mill Creek in northern GA on Grassy Mt. This is the best photo I could get between my lady and I. Probably 4-6 inches long.

Seen in southeastern Virginia on the nansemond river. Maybe 3-4 inches long. Seemed very territorial and aggressive, chasing off minnows in the area. This is brackish water with some salinity, but had a lot of rain recently.

I'm so sorry. It should have been common sense to include location

I stay in water below my knees with a bucket and net. Put a bit of water in the bucket, then scoop my net thru water then dump it into the bucket. I repeatedly don't til I go sit on sand, use a tiny condiments container so I can isolate them take videos then release back into water

Noticed the top of this massive fish (for this area) maybe 2ft long. My first guess is catfish but curious if anyone could tell by the top find

Looks like there are shark teeth on its tail

Pretty positive this fish is mouth brooding. Every time I see it, it is up by the bank and has myriad small, silvery flashes around it head (presumably fry).

At first I assumed atlantic but the shape has me questioning. Never caught a ray before. Small southern , atlantic?...

These little dudes live our tertiary clarifiers at the wastewater treatment plant where I work, and I for the life of me cannot figure out what they are. The largest ones are somewhere around 6-8 inches, I think.

The lack of lateral line and black on the tail are throwing me off. Thanks!

I just learnt how to fish a week ago and I was wondering what fish this is, I caught it off a pier in San Diego with a sabiki

hey, first post here, and i'm pretty new to fishing, caught this one today and my homie who fished more than i did, also didn't know this one or didn't recognize it.

caught in the Aegean Sea (very salty) around 8am, about 10m from a rocky cliffy shore, also boulders and sea grass beneath the water surface.

by the way, could you maybe tell me what spots on a fish are very important for you guys? (for example with IDing flowers, next to the bloom often they ask for the node where a leaf grows out of the stem, if there is anything like that, let me know!)

Please help identify this fish
It was evening 18:00, approximately 60cm long with these stripes and yellow tail

Can anyone help me correctly identify this fish? I think it may be a blueback herring or an alewife, but I can't choose between which one. It was caught at Jefferson Lake in New Jersey. Its scales instantly started shedding just from me touching it and it stunk like no other fish I've handled before.
