What's that fish?

[SarahJane]

Hi.

This was caught at Lake Broadwater, and I'm curious to know what it is. I've checked some of my books, but I feel this fish has a rather large head relative to body size and looks to me more like a marine species.

Thanks

I think Its name is shining fish

That could definitely be the one, and what I've read it's quite common too. Thank you.
