First time river fishing, what in the world is this guy?

I thought bluegill when I first pulled him out, but red eyes and red dots all over body?

Black or yellow bullhead?

I think it’s a yellow bullhead, the lower lip barbells are white, which means yellow?

Caught in eastern Canada

Caught in a river in eastern Canada a few kilometres from the ocean. A large school of seemingly thousands of them feasting topwater. Caught around 15. Weird mouth leads me to believe some type of bottom feeder but they were nailing flies and spinners topwater.

Trout or landlocked salmon?

Set my rod right out front of our beautiful campsite and went to change out of my wet pants. As soon as I did I heard the indicator and (sans pants) pulled in this beaut. I was trying to CnR and the bait was deep but my girl was able to get a few pictures. I did not check for vomer teeth.

My question is, what fish is this?

What kind of catfish is this?

Caught at lake nacimiento in California (central coast) sorry for the poor picture quality my buddy took it from half a mile away. Looks like a channel cat to me but the other one i caught was much lighter in color

Lake trout? Caught near Idaho Springs, Colorado

Are these lakers or faded brookies?

Edit: Inconclusive results so far. The most upvoted comment is saying brookie for the 2nd fish, but lots of people saying splake as well… anyone have an explanation between brookie vs splake for the second fish?

Are we catching black, white, or a mix of crappie?

Upstate South Carolina. I realize there is a brim in the first pic and a white perch in the second. Thanks in advance.

Western NY, Genesee River

Google Lens (and my nephew) says it’s an alligator gar, I’ve been fishing here for 20 years and had never seen one. A search says they’ve never been naturally caught further north than Illinois. Are we crazy?
