I like the fact that he was brave enough to address the exaggerated claims of the snake heads invasion, and even provided some bright side points.

It's also nice to see that these fish also seem to not be completely decimating the bass population or other fish, he remarked on the high bio mass that small tributary had.

Good to see some objective research being done.

That's what I thought at first too, but it's actually Channa argus, an asian species native to Korea, China, and Russia.

Here's another clip I found covering the Northern Snakehead invasion in the potomac: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEfviq9t6kY&feature=related
