Juv. Bluegill?

Unsure.

Creek Chub

Juv. Bullhead

Nice! Your unsure sunfish in the net is a Green Sunfish, as I would guess the first unsure is as well. That third thing is a funky mutt. Maybe it's kin to that funky-lookin' first Lepomis. I'd call those bullheads Black Bullheads.

Looks like a fun day in the water!

I think ours so cool to be catching these in my minnow trap!

First sunfish looks like a redear, or redear X ??? hybrid ... maybe P-seed?.  Other sunfish are all greens.  Minnow is most likely common shiner, or maybe striped.

First pic appears to be a pumpkinseed as they are common in Wisconsin

I was thinking the heavy striping made it more likely a bluegill (1st photo juv bluegill, 2nd is juv pumpkinseed.)

Look at the vertical row of spots in the light bar in the Pumpkinseed and blue markings on the opercle.  that is the same as your fish

I hadn't heard that vertical row of spots trick for Pseed vs Redear; that's a good one - thanks Fritz.  What about this "redear" from our NANFA gallery?
