I think you got both Striped and Brassy jumprocks (last fish).  The Satinfin-like shiners in the Catawba basin (including Leepers/Dutchman watershed) are "supposed to be" Greenfins (C. chloristia), although if Satinfins from the Yadkin have been introduced there (along with Redlips) it would be pretty near impossible to tell them apart. Your madtom is of course a Margined madtom - the usual one across most of the Piedmont region.

Sweet, that was an excellent spot. They probably were Greenfins, they weren't that large so I couldn't really tell. Great spot for Darters too. The Madtom was an accident. I had "The Perfect Dipnet" lol, hung on a piece of bark underwater and picked him right up with the bark. Pretty cool place.
