They both look like GSF to me but I'm not sure.

Green sunfish or very close to it. The larger one is probably a male in breeding color.

For me, #1 could be questionable -- but that is mostly because I can't seek key features in the photo. But, almost no ambiguity on #2. Green Sunfish.

If you click the image, it should open a new window with the full sized picture. It may still not be clear enough...

The mouth size on #1 rules out BG.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

My pond was full of these when I stocked it a few years ago. Seems like the LMB and CC have thinned them out pretty good.

I think the smaller one is likely a female GSF.
