I shuddered when I first saw that fish. Looks like the biggest ugliest round goby I've ever seen :shock:. I'd like to see a seagull haul off with that thing!!!
(for those who've never pier fished in the great lakes - they're infested with a nasty little invasive called the round goby. They bite on anything, only get about 5 inches long, eat other fishes eggs, but are only useful to throw to the seagulls, which the kids do love to do!)
