My First Fish Cleaning & Fish Identification
Not sure if this is the place for this post, but...
I caught a few fish today, pictured below. I'm guessing they are shellcrackers? I'm new to fishing so I have no clue.
I also decided that since I caught about 10 of them to keep 2 of the bigger ones and try my hand at cleaning a fish. I watched hour upon hour of youtube videos to get my learning started.
I also wanted to confirm the fish species, and see if I can eat it or if there are any signs not to eat it. I caught it in a lake 30 minutes outside of Washington DC, so I'm a little sketched out.
Also pictured my cleaning. I feel like I did a good job filleting the one side of the fish, but i had a little trouble on the second side of the fish. Any thoughts on how my filleting looks?
Thanks!

Hmm, why are the pics so small.
