Hey - you're not the only one around here who's thick skinned, and thick skulled!
I hope you know my reply was meant as a joke.
I'll confess - fish-ID is not my strongest skill. Differentiating between all them slippy slimers can get confusing, especially as you can have so much color variation within a species.
Nothing like urban legends and locale lore to set the "rules". All I know if someone told me they were good on the smoker!
Late last fall I caught what I thought was my first Tiger Trout, later to realize it was a Brown trout in my photo (pretty sure). Surprised no-one called me on it!
Hope some of those Tigers are still in there.
So TD - question was raised - what's your expert opinion - what kind of minnows are these? Perch, Bluegill - or most likely a mix of the both? I thought the little buggers were kinda cute, even if they are a bit slimy. Can you use tummy-minners for bait? Suppose they've already been 'worked on'.
