Cudz Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Caught this about 3 weeks ago in Kbay. It is the biggest goby I have ever seen. It went 7 inches and was fat. These things are going to start eating adult perch soon!!!!! Edited September 28, 2012 by Cudz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Its too bad they don't get to 6lbs. They'd be a lot of fun then. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregoire Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 If the gobies are getting bigger it makes me wonder what would happen if they started eating larger and larger forage. Maybe a sharp decline in minnows in the great lakes and Simcoe. That might effect the health of juvenile sport species. However larger gobies would make for larger mature sport fish. I hope we do not get into a situation where there are a few years of really large, near record size bass and then the population implodes. I also hope that the Musky start eating them on Simcoe. That could help control the population. I would love for that restoration project to be successful, as I imagine massive muskies could be produced in that lake.

They already have started decimating bass spawn nest and eating there eggs as well as walleye eggs in the kawartha lakes like you said hopefully the musky make them there number one meal source that might put a small dent into the goby population however because there like little bunnies and they reproduce so fast that i think if something doesn't get done soon we will loose a major part of our fishery to these small yet very dangerous guests.

lhousesoccer Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 The term "guest" implies that at some point, they will leave Not the case for these buggers, unfortunately .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhousesoccer Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Wish it were true! I think they're here to stay though. Unless DOW Chem comes up with a gobi-cide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I guess the cormorants need something to eat too..... S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdylan Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I have caught some large ones this year as well BOQ area. I was wondering if maybe the warmer season had something to do with it? One was much larger (maybe 1 1/2 times) than the one in the picture I was pretty shocked when I pulled it out. I could have sworn I had a nice bass on too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
