SNAKEHEAD FISHING ADVENTURE IN THE SWAMPS OF JERSEY - Had the Go PRO

[thmyorke1]

As much as I respect snakehead as a gamefish, it's no evil to follow the law and rid them out. If a state like NJ is demanding you to kill something, you know something aint right.

It would be best if their populations stayed where they are.

"you won`t ever put the slightest dent in the population"

I agree with them in large bodies of water, but say that to smaller/local bodies of water however. I reckon that they can ruin a pond, but also the local anglers could easily rid snakeheads' presence.

all valid concerns and more reasons why I'd like to find CURRENT info on their spread and impact. seems like most resources went into the initial hype rather than monitoring. (flatheads?)

ps- on a lighter note those points apply to the bucket brigade as well!

Ken,

Where can one find these snakeheads? (Rich R VW)

Ken, I give credit to the biologists, they tend not to think of today or next week when it comes to invasive species such as Snakeheads, but think about 5, 10, 15 or 20 years from now. If they say do not release them, don't release them.

video doesn't show them being released.
