So after doing as much research on if they are legal in North Carolina, the only banned fish I can find are Black Carp. Who can I call to find out if I can own a snakehead in NC? Anyone have experience getting on into NC?

Yep, as sad as it is, channa are banned in every state of the US.
They are invasive because they readilly breed and are an apex predator, whatever the size of the species.
The weather in NC is ideal for most if not all sub-tropical species, and you can add channa argus to the list.
Channa argus is a 30in long apex predator that can rip anything in two just for sports. You don't want that released in your waters, which is why they got banned in the first place.

If you catch one and don't kill it like you are suppose to , who knows where it could live out its life.
I missunderstood, I thought you were implying nobody would know if you decided to keep it.
You didn't misunderstand anything. Prison is not something that is even considered if you are in possession of a snake head.
