The first fish looks like a longnose dace but the body shape seems all wrong. This was caught in the Souhegan River in New Hampshire.

Next are a couple sunfish from an dammed part of Blood Brook in New Hampshire. I couldn't see the opercular tab to see if they were bluegill, pumpkinseed, or redbreast but they look like lepomis so I guessed bluegill but am not confident on that guess.

I agree with your id the third might be a pumpkinseed but I'm not sure on that. But the first two look like they were stepped on or in some other way squished and the third tail fin is damaged must be a tough neighborhood.

That is how they all were right from the wild. As for the dace, all the dace (both blacknose and longnose) from the Souhegan were unusually thick tailed and fat bodied compared to what I am used to seeing but that first one had such an odd body shape it left me unsure.
