Im new to fish - and fishing. Can anyone help me identify these? The green one I think is a bass, but it doesnt really have that famous line across the side, and it also has some blue coloring on the bottom.

The silver one is actually very cool looking. Its very silver and shiny - many other colors in different reflections. Both of them I believe are about 2lbs, give or take a few ounces ( i do not have a scale).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The pictures aren't really defined but I'm going to say that the silver fish is what we call a (goo fish) or gaspergou and the other fish is what looks to me like a smallmouth or maybe a rock bass. this is what ppl call a gaspergou around here.  

The silver fish is a freshwater drum. The greenish brown fish is a smallmouth bass.

I would need better pictures with side pictures, mouth open, with the top and bottom fins extended.  Bass color depends on what water they  come out of.   Swampy (tannic acid) bass are darker in color.  Clear water bass (Table Rock Lake) will be much lighter in color.

looks like some white bass or rock bass.  The one on the right is a small mouth it looks like.

you mean the one on the right looks like a rock bass, right?

I think the first two pics look like drums and the last one is a rock bass or little smallie.

Also, unless you have a gigantic hand, I think you need to get a scale. ;D

Are these edible, and or good tasting?

Both are edible, though I wouldn't eat a drum -- and I'll eat just about anything.

Smallmouth are tasty, but usually have pretty strict guidelines on catch sizes and limits. The one in your picture on the right would not likely be a legal fish where I live.

Hey BFM,

I've heard 'em called a lot of things, but Gaspergou is a new one on me.

That is a good one.  ;D ;D

I can't wait 'til I catch one so I can hold it up to my buddy and say "Gaspergou!"
