Most likely a bowfin. Snakeheads are an evasive fish in NJ and look very similar. I personally have not caught a bowfin in NJ but have reeled a couple in on the ponds near my dad's house in FLA. Great fight...and if you have never seen or caught one your are releasing the fish wondering WTF did I just catch!

I think they have a few in the tanks at Cabelas in PA
