the story behind this is crazy...
it turned out some dot head bought two fish to sacrafice for his wife who was sick, she got better and he released the two in a local pond, they succesfully reproduced and the offspring have been ruinning local fisheries.

Yeah, these things are becoming the feral hogs of our waterways if the reports are accurate.
Wouldn't mind collecting bounties on them, but I hope they don't mind them being clubbed or shot for good measure.

I figured you would know the real deal.

So tell them you'll come on as a full timer snake fish hunter. LOL

What's needed to catch these pricks? Ocean test line?

wasn't long ago snakeheads were big in the fish tank groups. my buddy had one in his tank. after awhile it was all he had in his tank. they kill and eat anything. they can survive tough conditions.

many folks let them go, in waterways thinking it would be funny. asshats with no brains. they had a biog problem in the southwest with them a while back I thought. wonder if thye solved the problem and how. I think the easiest way would be to kill the water system entirely and then restock. sucks but very little else will work.

Not much scarier than a pike. Don't be such a sissy, Gas. Get out there with a pole and some beers and a side arm to finish em off before pullin 'em into the boat. Bam--$200 a pop and we can go buy some cool shit from BPS
