Goby

Would bet it was a Sculpin also....

Weve got to be careful when we use a broad term such as "goby" to describe one fish. Gobies are found all over the world in fresh and saltwater. They are characterized by a large round head, two distinct lobes in the dorsal fin (the first lobe is considerably smaller then the second), and fused pelvic fins that kind of function as a "suction cup." Many are native to the US, though I am pretty sure none are native to KY.

The goby of concern in the Great Lakes region is the round goby, Neogobius melanostomus .
