Please identify cichlid (cichla?)

[Padiwan cichlidiot]

He has a cichla type dorsal fin (still a little stressed out, so it is not visible), but his tail looks forked ...

Looks like a Small Mouth Bass.

I caught it in a stream here in Hawaii, I'm guessing small mouth bass can not live at such high temperatures.

It's not any species of peacock bass that foe sure!!!!! You would be surprised where they can live. I'm almost certain it's a Small Mouth Bass.
