I spent a few years catching cobra snakeheads in Florida when I was living in FT Lauderdale. They did not cause any issues, and the media frenzy proved to be nothing more than hype. From an ecological perspective, they are essentially the same as bowfin. They both evolved in different parts of the world to fill the same ecological niche, in a process called convergent evolution. On a side note, at least the Florida species fight very hard. I caught them up to about 10lbs and they were much more challenging to catch and fought much harder than bass.
