Thumbs up Re: Prospertown Dinofish

Very cool catch Wow at far this specimen traveled to get there. Migratory species for sure. They are delicious for sure. They will survive and move on no matter who you notify. They’re here to stay and add another species to our already awesome list of fish to catch in a small state. The way things are going we might depend on this guy for food one day. We can’t overthrow something that was meant to be. Mother Nature is in control.
Snakehead

GREAT catch guys, thats a nice size. I have news for all, the snakehead is basically now a game fish, no reason to kill them anymore unless your eating it, they are here to stay. I just watched a special on these fish. When they were brought here and dumped in our waters, EVERYONE freaked out, how they can live on land, and how they were gonna eat everything in our lakes etc.. Their findings on the snakeheads are nowhere near what everyone was saying. They ended up being a DELICIOUS tasting fish. THEY ARE HERE TO STAY, and according to the studies, they are not affecting our eco systems in lakes in rivers. I personally do not eat these fish, nor do I target them, but do catch them time to time fishing for bass. Me and my wife do not treat these fish any different from bass, we get the hook out and safely release it back into the water. I will tell you this, yea, they have nasty teeth (as do pickerel, Pike, musky etc.) but take a good look at one, they are absolutely a BEAUTIFUL fish, the colors are amazing. To each their own, but me and my wife love to respect the fish we catch no matter what they are. Tight lines.

Rich, I don't respect fish any less than you as we don't kill what we don't eat.(unless it's trying to kill us) I will gladly eat every Snakehead that we catch. To each his own, Tight Lines .
