Fish ID from the Yarra

Hi All,

Can anyone help me ID this little fish caught in the yarra near Heidelberg? It is about 15-20cm long. I didn't think it was a european carp. Sorry the pic isn't great. It was caught in the evening about a week ago. I got heaps of tiny little bites on worms and then finally hooked one.

Small silver perch maybe?

Those are endangered Australian Natives. Please take great care when releasing them!

Thanks all for the quick response. I certainly didn't keep it, it wasn't hooked too well, so should be ok for another day.
