First one looks like sun catfish

The fist shot appears to contain sun cats, maybe a bit funny looking but need better angles.

The third contains a common channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus.

Last kind of looks like a channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) but the head is a bit off compared to most of them.
