Snakehead Hooked While Yellow Perch Fishing

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Nanjemoy Creek

Hello my name is Travis Meering and I live in Port Tobacco MD. I'm reporting a snakehead i caught yesterday evening in Nanjemoy Creek off my dads pier. I was fishing for yellow perch with a bottom rig and live minnows and hooked this guy. He put up a pretty good fight and was suprised to see it was a snakehead this early in the year. Seems like yellow perch arnt the only thing running early. My dad plans on eating it and a knife was placed through his head to kill it.
