    They are definitely saltwater cause I can catch them in the backyard.

    I think the top fish is a juvenile Permit, but the big one is obviously Silverside. I think the ones I catch though have a more rounded mouth.

    Those are usually 3 inches but we'll have to wait 'till PJ wakes up to confirm that.

    I googled that picture, but I would agree with ALW on the size.
