Reef Runner is correct, the two non-bass are pikeminnows. They're pretty common in parts of the west ...  run 2 to 3 pounds on average, I think the provincial record is over 10 pounds though so they can get big. They occupy the same kinds of places that smallmouth do and seem to like jigs and spinners. Fight okay, no jumps but they're fairly strong, sort of like a small lake trout. Never eaten one but I'm told they're not that good.

Yup, pikeminnow.

I actually had my buddy in BC send me their cousin peamouth for ice fishing bait.

He caught them through the ice. I use them for pike fishing as they are very durable unlike ciscoes.

I can catch several pike on one before needing to replace it.

He sent me a 35# box of them. :)
