gobies!
those mudpuppies are some weird little critters put them on the ice chances are they will find a hole. I always set them free but I did run into a guy who really disliked them for some reason. Those gobies aren't so bad... Lake Erie has shown a marked increase in fish size (walleye,smallmouth, and perch) due to them now focusing on gobies for food. They are a pain and there was a time a few years ago where they did ask you to kill them all, but the guys I spoke to in Dunkirk after a trip last year said they are a great addition to the food supply. Not sure if the DEC still asks for them to be killed but the biologist I spoke to didn't thikn it was needed.
Every goby I catch I bounce the fruckin thing off the top of my boat motor and watch it float away
they're a different story all together , invasive non native and destructive .
