Goofangs are a species of bass indigenous to the waters of Minnesota and Wisconsin. They are the holotype for all Goofang species, which are classified as a supergenus of Cheep Cheeps.
Unlike the related Goggle-Eyed Goofangs, this more primitive species does not grow calcified protecting visors over its eyes and therefore has its incredibly sensitive eyes exposed. To keep their eyes from any potential harm, they swim backwards.
They were more common in the 19th and early 20th centuries, where lumberjacks reported them on and off.
Physiology[]
Bubs are scaled fish, related to both Cheep Cheeps and other Freshwater Bass.
