It's one thing if they are on the verge of eradicating snakeheads, but from what I understand they've completely given up on bodies of water where they're already established.

My personal opinion is live and let live, but ultimately it should be up to the individual angler.
The regulation is quite clear, you must kill them. C&R is not an option in this case. To do otherwise is a total disregard for the law which would then cast a shadow of doubt on one's overall integrity as a sportsman. If you don't like the regs you're free to lobby the Div. to change them.
