I know these pics aren't the best . But would anyone know if pics 1,2 & 4 are some type of bass? I am pretty sure pic 2 is a crappie.

I think they are all rock bass.

Looks to me like.

1. Is a Rock Bass
2. Is a crappie
3. Looks like a Hybrid Sunfish or just a large sunfish. Notice the orange belly.
4. Is hard to tell from the picture.
I can tell you this though. If at all possible you sould not grab your fish the way you are in picture number 4 unless your hands are wet. The slime coat on the fish that protects will and can get damaged and stress the fish out even more.

Rock Bass (Ambloplites rupestris)




Black Crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus)





Looks like a warmouth (Lepomis gulosus) or some kind of hybrid

Do you have a creek that runs into your pond introducing all these species?

Cecil,
THere is a creek that runs into it in the spring. It drys out around the end of June.

I agree about #2 being a Crappie. I hadn't looked that closely.

Damone, my question is, where in the US of A are you wearing a long sleeved shirt in July?

Fish 1-rock bass
Fish 2-black crappie
Fish 3-warmouth
Fish 4-mouth shots are hard to identify with, but based on mouth size, I am going with warmouth...

Cecil is good!

Rock bass, black crappie, green sunfish or hybrid bluegill, and can't tell because I can't see anything but the mouth
