Oooohhhh look at the cool blue looking flesh in that Goby's mouth.
Maybe it was a freshwater Lingcod or cabezon.
He should have eaten it, I bet it tasted good in spite of the sores and scabies one it.

If that was the same fish that the guy let go it should serve as an example of why you shouldn't let pets go in a non-native envoronment. The poor thing had probably been suffering horribly ever since it was liberated from its nice cozy home. Look at the thing!!! It has sores all over it and its right eye looks like it was bulging out. It is better off dead, and the lake is better off for it not being in there.
looks kind of like a midshipman

I had one in my aquarium for a while and eventually killed it after it eventually ate and/or killed everything else. They just don't stop growing and eat virtually anything. Nasty creatures that can be bought at tropical fish stores.
It is a Goby. My local (Vietnamese) fish store owner called it a Stonefish or Goby. I haven't had it or thought about it in some time, but that's it.
Looks like a Marbled Goby to me!!
