Snakeheads

[Limbs and Sticks]

A friend came by with this critter in his cooler, he caught this snakehead a mile from my house 20 miles from the Chesapeake bay, I think these are here to stay, this one is 20'' long and he caught it on a spinner fishing for bass, not good

Dang prehistoric looking cut bait ain't it! Might make good catfish bait

Those teeth look mean. I would not put my finger in it's mouth.

They know, this thing is slowly adapting to salt water, right now it's up the brackish streams and taking over

we don't have them in ky.as far as i know. but i have a friend that said they are in wv.also. but i don't know.we do have asian big head carp.they did a show on kentucky afield and went bow fishing for them that would be a lot of fun they get over 50 pounds.but a little to far for me to drive to shoot carp.

[phil]

[badredbird]

i ate them they are delicious, people of asian descent brought them here and spread them as they are a delicacy , they are nasty caught quite a few in fla , but know they ae very aggressive not good for ecosyatem

[wabi]

All we have to do to get rid of the asian carp and the snake heads is say they are a delicacy . if that doesn't work we should turn them into mystery fillet o fish burgers

In all seriousness , if these fish are so plentiful ; fish them commercially . Sell them back to China , process them for cat / pet food. Grind them up for fertilizer . Must be a few more uses . You could make a few bucks and get rid of the problem at the same time.

They are fishing for the Asian carp commercially here in IL. I know a commercial fisherman the works out of Grafton, IL, at the junction of the Miss.River and the IL River. He uses nets and right now he is getting $0.18 per lb. for them. Farther up the IL River, at Pearl, IL, they are building a processing plant that will clean and freeze the fish and SELL THEM BACK TO CHINA. Gary

That is a nasty looking fish .
The nastiest I saw was a wolf eel face to face when on my dive course at Shearwater .

if the fish and wild life see that there is a dollar amount attached to this fish there will be a new season and harvest and permits and regulations and they will be here to stay! instead of letting them wipe them out!
