Nope, that's a drum, or a freshwater sheepshead as some call it, gaspergoo, croaker, knocker, or dorkfish as I call them.

The fish in the first picture is a saltwater sheepshead.

Don't Sheepshead eat barnacles? The teeth are for crushing the shells.

Yep and crabs, other shell stuff like clams

I heard people taking a hoe and scraping the barnacles to chum the water

 crabs, shrimp and/or pieces of clams are used as bait.

I did marine construction for 8 yrs and we would scrape pilings before we wrapped them with plastic. If you did it first thing in the morning by lunch time is was prime time to catch them.
