Actually, it's believed the initial releases were due to the asian practice of 'ceremonial animal release'. A tradition where the person releasing an animal back to the wild will gain favor from the gods. One known release was a young man who released a pair of market snakeheads for luck the day he was to propose to his girlfriend.

Asian restaurant owners were also bringing them in by the bulk for food, and was also releasing in nearby lakes etc. to basically naturally farm their food source for their restaurants... at least that's what I saw on the news one time. It's NOT hobbyists... more like restaurant owners, and probably what oddball said.
