I think you have the first fish correctly identified as a creek chub. Creek chubs are a very common fish in all of eastern USA. Best photos of the any unknown fish are taken with the fish in water in a small snack sized plastic bag so the fins are held out naturally. Fin shape, location, and structure is very important for identifying fish. Georgia has some unique to the SE USA freshwater fishes so many members here are not familiar with all the available options for correct names of GA fishes. For your best information, check out and study the link that has some pretty good pictures for fishes of GA. Then when you decide on a name for your specimen, do some further internet searching of your choice to help you verify if it is reasonably correct. Get us some better more natural pictures of your unknowns and we can try and help verify your choice of a name. http://fishesofgeorgia.uga.edu/index.php?page=homeTo add to what Bill is saying, sometimes you have to count the rays in the fins to properly ID a fish species.That's why getting a picture of the fins being held out naturally is important.
