I would guess bullhead and pike minnow/squawfish.
Does look way bigger than any bullhead I have caught but color same as I remember.
Looks like good water and weather out there for you.

I agree that that's a black bullhead - and a pretty good size one too!
The other one is a little tougher without a clearer picture but it's definitely one of the larger species of shiner. My best guess is that it's a common shiner but there are a few species that look very similar. You might try a Google image search for "common shiner" and see if that matches what you caught.
Cool fish and thanks for sharing!
