I know this fish isn't in an aquarium, but I just thought somebody here could tell me what kind of fish this is because it's driving me crazy!

The fish on the top is a crevalle jack, but I have no idea what the on on the bottom is. It looks like some sort of shad/jack mix.
If anyone can tell me what kind of fish this is I would greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance.

the fish on the top is called a Jack Crevalle. And the fish on the bottom is probably some kind of scad or herring its a baitfish common to Floridian intercostal waters.
 
You might want to whip out the Dr. Burgess Fish Atlas and look it up. The top is probably a big-eye trevally and the bottom one, as someone else mentioned, is a type of scad. Where did you catch it and in what depth? Did you use a lure or bait?

Yes the top fish is a bige-eye trevally(also known as a jack crevalle), I caught both of them in new port richey florida in the canal in my backyard. they were both about 6 or 7 inches in length. caught both of them with shrimp. the bottom fish resembles a large shad or greenback, but it was swimming in a school of jacks. this fish is still confusung me.
