evasives in pike lake

[jbach]

not to brag.......but I caught 2 Gobies in pike the other day

You sure it wasn't a mottled sculpin? I've caught them in mille lacs and they look a lot like a round goby.

any pics?

the dnr would like to hear about them if they were gobies.

and it's invasive rather than evasive. I'm sure there are a lot of evasive fish in that lake

This is a bad picture of a sculpin

[jbach]

yeah, you may be right. After reviewing pics, they do look a lot alike. Im gonna go find one I threw on the ice and make sure.

How big do they get, cause one was about 5 inches long and one smaller?

[bobbymalone]

I think they can run about 6 inches max, so that one of yours is getting close to being a wall hanger.

[jbach]

ironically, i dit staple it to the side of my house.......

[tacklejunkie]

There are zebra mussels in Pike(Duluth) so the possibility is there for a goby to get in there.

[Northlander]

I wouldnt doubt there are Gobies in Pike or any other area lakes.

[Surface Tension]

Yea Sculpin.

Sweet.

Northlander, sculpin x 2 bonus points meow because of its elusive and hard meow to catch. (Mille Lacs last winter) LOL.

[Redlantern]

Meow, too funny!

[Northlander]

Meow to you too Frank! Them babies are actually pretty easy to catch though. LOL. Meow!

I know this is merely a technicality, but it would be an invasive.

If they were evasives... no problems

[jbach]

let me elucidate, meant to say elusives, since I had never caught one before......
