I'm about 10 min drive from Md! If I parlayed it correctly I could quit my day job and go snakehead fishing everyday.

I just hope people educate themselves and kill SNAKEHEADS and not BOWFIN.

Where did they come up with that picture? Most evil-looking fish I've ever seen, nothing like they look when alive.

I had no idea they could live 4 days on land! They're terrible fish and will decimate the fish we want in a short time.

They have been in Md waterways for quite some time now. Every now and then somebody catches one as a luck catch while fishing for other native gamefish. They are hardly taking over up this way,even hard to catch fish such as big pike and musky are caught far more often then a snakehead. I have had snakehead as a dish and can say that its pretty good stuff.

Hmm...wonder if out of state people can fish for them? I'm close to Maryland and I have a fishing pole somewhere in my house. I always did enjoy fishing when I was younger.

Will have to check this out. Those fish are cool, yet creepy at the same time.

I also want to go Carp fishing.
