Nice catch, Haven't seen one of those creatures since I was stationed in South Carolina back in the '60s. Didn't know we had them up here!

we had a good # of snakeheads caught the last 5 summers or so at roosevelt lake in Souf Philly by the stadiums i figured only a matter of time before they slithered a few blocks east to the Dizzle

Nice catch!

We have bowfins in a lake around here. Always an incidental catch.
