I have caught several in Irondequoit Bay. They make great bass baits.
Don't ever return them to water,
Just like we do with the nasty perch up here pitchem or ice em leave them for the eagles becareful, people on here whine about wasting garbage fish!

No one knows "exactly" where they originated from but it is beleived that they came into the Great Lakes region via Bulge tanks on Oceanic vessels. Where ever they came from get used to them because they are here to stay. They reproduce like crazy. I'd rather have them then Asian carp. Don't ever return them to water, they make great live bait to because they stay alive forever if you hook them right. You will find them on the bottom mainly by rocks or alot of cover.
acutally gobies are the largest family of fish with over 2000 sub spieces alone and live in salt brackish and fresh water the round gobie whish invaded the great lakes is believed to have come from the Black and Caspian seas
