If you're more than a few km away from the ocean I'd confirm common bully. You never find giants more than a few km from the ocean.
    Definitely not a Galaxid nor a mudfish.

    The fish in the net looks different to the fish in the hand. The gold & red fin marks are confusing, a bully of some sort - Upland or Crans or something else ??

    No I was wrong , looking at the adult bully photos the split / two dorsal fins are a give away. Well until someone else points out other details.

    We just had a week in Tokyo and were watching fellas doing exactly this type of fishing in a canal right beside the Skytree [sky tower]. They kept the bully type fish in a keep net and I asked a fella "are they good eating ?" He said whole dipped in tempura batter , very good. You would need a few for a feed however.

    You could tell that the fisherman were into it.

    Definitely a bully species, need to see the dorsal fins sticking up to work out which variety.
