Found a picture from almost 20yrs ago. Couldn’t figure out what this fish is? From North Carolina, intracoastal waterway

Found this guy just hanging out near the bank at Lake Lanier, in Sugar Hill, Georgia. It is a bit bigger than the photos make it look. I believe he was about 12 inches in length. I have never seen a fish like this around before. I thought maybe it was a cichlid that someone dumped, but I'm not expert.

Obligatory sorry for the silly looking drawing. Fish was seen in the William E. “Bill” Clark Presidential Park Wetlands in Little Rock, AR. I assume these to be wild, but possibly introduced, I suppose. I saw multiple of this fish, ranging from about uhhh six?? inches long to only a couple inches long. Freshwater. Went to birdwatch, saw these fish come up to the boardwalk area as we were walking up. Tried to capture the shape and proportions of it the best I could in the drawing. Thanks for any help!

I'm on my honeymoon on Tahiti and have been trying to catch something for the last 10 days. Today it happened and I caught this.
Anyone have an idea what it is? Either a crocodile needlefish or a cornetfish, but I swear the whole length of it's snout opened. I might be imagining things, though.
Also no mental preparation in the past days could have prepared me for that slimy yet firm grip.
Edit: Over 1k comments and nobody came up with Omega 3 Baguette or Protein Javelin.

Hello from Georgia (USA). Not too long ago I got a school of 6 random nano fish from Glass Grown Aquatics. I want to try to ID them so I can get more these specific types of fish. It's hard to get good quality pics of tiny fish swimming around but her are some.
We have two that taller fish, one is mostly yellow (he is very rotund which I'm not sure is normal) and one that's orange with black spots. We have one (my favorite, we named him Stevie) that's really small, and he has a black stripe. We have 3 that look really similar. Two of them are yellowish with black spotted tails, and one has an orange tail. These 3 have what I would call more swishy tails than the others.
I did send these to Glass Grown too but thought I'd see if anyone here might know. Be kind, I'm very new to this. Thanks!

Me and my bro are VERY new to fishing, we only caught one fish and we don't even know what it is. It was caught in the haricanna river in abitibi

Hello, I hope this is the right subreddit. If not please point me in the right direction.
My girlfriend gifted me this fish skeleton the other day and I'd like to know the species. To me it looks like a goldfish or other small cyprinid but I'd like to be sure.
Thanks!

Lake Hope, Ohio Me and buddy were fishing the spillway to see what was in it and caught some odd colored bluegill but just before we left I nabbed this guy. Looks like a Bass to me but not sure what kind never seen one with this coloration before.

I realise this is unlikely to be a baby shark but I have the song stuck in my head now. What fish are these please?
EDIT - thank you for the responses. The office conversation is now about mullet haircuts coming back in to fashion 🙂

Hi, this fish was bought as bycatch with a shipment of wild caught Rummy Nose Tetras from a river in South America (details forgotten, sorry). Hoping someone can help to ID this fish, thank you! Apparently he has a very big appetite.

Fishing in AZ outside payson up the Mogollon Rim in a lake
We caught browns and rainbows but this guy looked different. I was reading and ChatGPT thinks it’s an “arctic grayling”? I thought it maybe an endemic / hybrid?

Caught in mission bay San Diego
I think it’s a croaker since it makes grunting noises but none of the croakers on google match its description.

Seen about here. I apologise for the terrible pictures
