Green side, long ear, pumpkin seed...? Clear creek ky. Tributary of Salt River.

I'd say your second sunfish is a longear too, with a white-edged ear tab.

That's the one I'm having trouble with.

Thanks guys. The Peterson field guide does not show pumpkin seeds in my area but the species list does.

I guess the pumpkinseed give away is the orange or red spot?

Yeah, and more of a golden brown body color.

Habitat as well. Much more likely to find a longear in a stream than a Pseed.

Just stumbled across this picture from a few years ago. I figured since we were discussing sunfish I would ask about this guy. He came out of a farm pound that the river gets into if it floods. I'm guessing by the size of my hand he was around 9". Green sunfish right....

I'll second the warmouth ID, with the black scrolling on the gill cover and no really bright colors.

Ok I'm going to try this again. Black nose Dace, Southern Redbelly Dace, Central Stoneroller, Southern Redbelly Dace. This was part of my weekend outing at a creek at my buddy's farm here in Kentucky. It runs into Beech Fork, a tributary of Salt River.

Your id's look correct to me. I'd have to look up the location to confirm the stoneroller, central or largescale.

Agree, correct Id's. The stoneroller is one that the location is important. But your ID is plenty good enough. Many cannot tell the difference between central and largescale other than where it was found. I couldn't.
