Snakeheads
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

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

Re: Snakeheads
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
Re: Snakeheads
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.

Re: Snakeheads
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.

Re: Snakeheads
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!GaryM wrote:They are fishing for the Asian carp commercially here in IL.
