Roger the first one looks like a buffalo sucker. The second one looks like a trumpet fish.

The carp looking fish was caught from Lake Limestone in Texas and the eel like fish caught in Florida- think it may be a hogfish? Not sure. Please pray for my friend from Iceland who caught the hogfish- he had a heart attack but is doing ok in hospital
I studied fish and crustation biology. The top photo looks like a Carp hybrid of the Crucian Carp and common Carp. Refered to as the F1 Hybrid, but they are usually found in England and are said to be hard to catch on fishing tackle. They were bread as common table fair. Much like our farm raised fish are.
I have no idea what the second one is ?

The Carp like fellow looks like a Buffalo. I do not know if it is a Bigmouth or Smallmouth Buffalo. you may want to check with the state fisheries people on the Eel like guy.

Well Rog, I misidentified the fish, not doing much for my reputation that way, Soooooo sorry. It IS a buffalo, did some checking on Bing and found some good pix. Kinda though the color was a little too brown & not yellow/gold enough, but my big mistake as you know was the dorsal fin. Here's my excuse and I'll stick with it : I musta been tired ( whines mournfully) ........ 🥱. Nutz

I concur with nutz. In my haste I didn't see the lack of barbels.
Thanks for calling out my error I appreciate it.
