The top one in your picture does have a lateral line like this carp but it looks different. The bottom ones look more like minnows to me but I'm certainly not an expert.
top one looks to be a drum

Top might be some sort of drum or carp. The bottom two look like bait fish to me.

The one in the middle kinda looks like a silver carp. Cause of the scale pattern
The bottom one is an emerald shiner the middle is a black headed dace and I agree the top one looks like an immature drum.. There were thousands of the emerald shine and a few of the others scattered in.These were not the fish I saw 10 days ago by the tens of thousands off gravel bars, I went back out Sunday to try and net some of those but the wind made it impossible. The middle one was spawning you can see the egg sack hanging out the orifice.
These are partially digested baby drum, a pic I sent to Adam Martin(our biologist that took Paul Rister's place)to identify late in winter. He said baby drum are easy to identify because they have a tail that comes to a single point rather than a fork like those in the picture.
dont think so;pretty sure it was spawning
