The first is a wild shiner from a pond in Dedham. I scooped him with my net. I don't think it's a spottail, as there isn't a spot on the tail lol.
The second, striped fish, was caught in Buzzards bay by my friend and his nephew groundfishing. They caught a lot of scup, seabass, a couple dogfish, and this mystery fish... looks kind of tropical...
***The add picture function isn't working so well. See the regular, main thread for the picture or this link for the ground fish:
