Help a Dad not feel dumb..... - 08/03/15 08:43 AM

I didnt grow up with a dad or father figure to show/tell me the ropes with fishing, just kinda learned it as i went growing up so other than the common bass and catfish im kinda clueless to whats on the hook if its not one of the above mentioned. My 5 year old daughter loves to go fishing with me so we hit a pond right by the house because she is almost guranteed to catch something small with a simple bobber, hook, and worm. Problem is, i dont know what to tell her they are specifically. Ive done some google searching but it seems there are many variations of the many freshwater small fish so it is hard to be certain what they actually are. What are these 2 fish's below????
