At first site, it looks kind of like a snakehead, but the tail is wrong.

How long was it?

Did it have any teeth?

Midshipman

Fish

Gobi would have a little sucker disk on the bottom. (Naked Gobies, G.bosc) are the most common in Louisiana, but this is way to big and the spots aren't normal in gobies

Besides, gobi is a desert.

We were in saltwater in Cocodrie, so I doubt its a snakehead.

It had no suckers.

Yes, it had a lot of small teeth.

I think its an Atlantic midshipman.

Definitely a midshipman. Related to the oyster toadfish. Benthic predators.

*Worked in a Fisheries lab for 4 years identifying saltwater fish*
