Snakeheads Elude Getting Hooked

Snakeheads Elude Getting Hooked
Updated: Saturday, Jun. 11, 2005 - 1:29 PM

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - The snakehead isn't taking the bait.

The Washington Times reports that for the second consecutive year, nobody caught one at the annual Snakehead Fish Round-up at the Columbia Island Marina on the Potomac River.

Friday's event was aimed at raising awareness about the invasive species, which is native to Asia.

The northern snakehead is dubbed Frankenfish because of its razor-sharp teeth and ability to use its fins as legs to walk on land. Experts say the snakeheads are insatiable eaters that gobble up native fish.

The snakehead was first discovered in the region's waterways three years ago. Officials believe they were kept as pets, and dumped into the water by their owners.

Hey BBBEEEEeee careful planning on catching one of those and keeping it. I read an article recently about this whole snake head debacle - and if I remember correctly any angler who catches one is required by law to kill it immediately - moreover there is a VERY hefty fine for being in possession of a live one.

I don't remember what the fine was, but I remember thinking "holy ****, that's pretty excessive!" when I read it.

if you get any, keep me in mind. I'm to far away to help (fla), but I sure would like to get a couple. maybe I can help splitting the costs of the trip for those who are going. just divide total by one more, me.
thanks
