    Thanks for sharing a great article, much more positive than most of the potentially hyped up articles that I have read. Have snakeheads been found in Mississippi River yet? If so where?

    Good article, although I have to say that the Snakehead fish or anything else for that matter will ever replace my favorite exotic species, eurasianwater milfoil!

    Seems like there was an article last year about a Snakehead found in WI on or near the Mississippi. Don’t get too alarmed, however, as I recall this also stated that if they could survive here they couldn’t reproduce as they are a warm climate fish and couldn’t take the winters here.

    If I remember right it was on the rock river during a DNR shock. They took a picture of it and released it.

    They look just like a bowfin to me . I dont see how they could be any more aggresive than them doggies. They are flat out nasty.I have lost a box full of spinnerbaits to them,they just trash em.
