Question White Perch?

In the calm waters of today, it was easy to see about a hundred swimming back and forth in about eight feet of water. They were all about 1¼ to 1½ pounds, shaped like bass, but with all-green fins. A few of some larger fish swam with the pack (but above them) and had coarser, worn-looking scales. None were observed to be feeding.

Bass, with their browner backs, were stationary in shallower waters nearby and in the shade of the dock.

White Perch sounds right.
