Fish Id required

I caught this little guy lrf fishing. For the size of him he put up a good scrap. Not sure what it is. I thought it might be a dragonet?

Thanks !

Thanks lads - haven't caught one of those before

dragonet has a slimmer body, sharper "nose" and a poisonous spine in its dorsal fin...

there are a few species of gurnard in our waters but only grey gurnard have that distinguishing dark spot on the dorsal fin

i caught a few of them off ballycotton lately , now i know what they are !!

Good to know about the poisonous spine wouldn't want the young fella to pick it up as he's usually with me.
