is it a grunter?

Using a freshwater prawn caught in the shallow with a net by 5 yr old. We didn't expect to pull anything out of the water as we didn't have much with us just the telescopic rod and I honestly thought the hook was too big to pull anything up.
Its not bream is it, is this what they call a grunter? The spines on his back looked a bit nasty, was reluctant to let 5 yr old take the hook out of him. We put him back because he was small, but there were quite a few schooling...also silver flashes in the water which I thought might be bream but not sure.
We were down at kent st weir.
not sure if the photo is going to upload but will try anyway.
