Crappie or Bass?

[Master Zero]

Hello, I caught this fish yesterday, two of them in fact. At first, I thought that it could be a rock Bass, but it could also be a Black Crappie. I searched through images online but still remain unsure. Can anyone help me ID this fish?

Thanks guys, they’ll go great with my two Smallmouth Bass, and hopefully before winter comes...two Largemouth Bass.
