white perch for sure. with white perch the only stripe they have is the lateral line. their mouth and eyes resemble that of a yellow perch as well. white bass have lines in additional to the lateral line

Looks like a white prech to me as well. White prech has a purple tint on bottom jaw. If it was a sliver bass there wouldn't any purple on the bottom jaw.

Very good to eat!
enjoy.... ;D
