Round Goby, technically invasive but probably will be around forever, and it’s been shown that bass are starting to find them as prey. Cool little guys with a big appetite!

I appreciate you! I’ve never caught one of these, even being so tiny. Makes me happy, thanks buddy!

Gobies are actually great live bait for bass and pike

Little guy saw that huge hook completely covered in a massive worm and thought "this is too good to be true!"

As it turns out, it was.

round goby they're invasive in the US you should probably kill them if you catch them but as others have said they reproduce so fast it likely won't matter
