misfish Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) This thing was huge. I have only caught them like 3-4 inches. This one was a good 6"-7" and fat. It wasnt the only one, but thought I would post this one. The jig is 1", so you be the judge. Might even be longer then 6"-7 ". How big can these things get? Edited June 5, 2015 by Brian B
BowSlayer101 Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 Ya, they get big, especially in that area, caught some of my biggest gobies there!
OhioFisherman Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_goby " Round gobies range in length from 4 to 10 inches (maximum of 9.7 inches (24.6 cm), and in weight from 0.176 ounces to 2.816 ounces, increasing as they age. Male round gobies are larger than females. " It's been 10 years or so since I fished, but never saw one that big, is that from Simcoe? Looks like a decent meal for a walleye or steelhead.

Yes Paul, Simcoe. It,s the Barrie Marina. You can see many of them in the smaller size every where. I was very surprised at it,s size and fattness.
OhioFisherman Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 All the ones I saw on Lake Erie seemed to be between 3-5 inches long, but I am sure there had to be bigger ones around Brian. I have no clue, does Simcoe have access to the great lakes for fish to migrate? Or were those from carelessness with a bait bucket?
misfish Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) You can head from lake O and get to simcoe doing the trent system. If Im not mistaken, it,s do to the bait bucket brigade and also from boats transfering unwashed. Im not 100% on this, but have also heard they have been here longer then we know, just that we are seeing more and more of them now. I know on Erie they are stupid crazy. Probly why they brought out the plastic goby baits to use there, and why slammers work so well on Simcoe for bass on a drop shot rig.LOL Edited June 5, 2015 by Brian B

Would you believe, a hungry farret (might of been a mink) that was licking his chops and saying, I,LL TAKE IT. End of that goby life. Edited June 5, 2015 by Brian B
OhioFisherman Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Jewel_Bait_Sculpin/descpage-JS.html#multiview those worked well on Lake Erie, never used a slammer.
misfish Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Posted June 5, 2015 I was given a bag of trixys when I first fished it. They worked great. When I fished the next day, the pro used a goby style bait and did well. He did, not me.LOL
Sinker Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 Congrats on the new PB! LOL I caught one about that size thru the ice this winter. The perch seem to like them......and the lakers and whities too. S.

johnl Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 back when we were kids we would catch them and cut off the body and cast the head back out my buddy got a four and a half to five pound largie to smash it two feet from shore one tme in hamilton harbour....and if you cast the heads ot it doesnt take long before they start to movecatfish pike bass etc
spincast Posted June 6, 2015 Report Posted June 6, 2015 that's a big 'un. I'd be thinking... hmm what would like to eat you? Laker? Pike? Brown? Sammie.... ah let me count the species..... this won't hurt at all, just a little pin prick
HTHM Posted June 6, 2015 Report Posted June 6, 2015 Ahem, Gobies are not a species that one brags about the size of.
OhioFisherman Posted June 6, 2015 Report Posted June 6, 2015 No idea what " trixys " that is, 4 inch zoom lizards were also a great bait for smallies here.
Pickeral eater Posted June 6, 2015 Report Posted June 6, 2015 Wow!!!! Catch them by the dozens looking for perch on erie some days but nothing like that!
NAW Posted June 6, 2015 Report Posted June 6, 2015 . How big can these things get? Swimming around the outlet for the sewage treatment plant?? Who knows man. How many eyes did it have?
Steelheadphycho Posted June 6, 2015 Report Posted June 6, 2015 Former Ontario record round goby Is that a goby or a turd? Barf!
