Snakeheads!

Type: Nontidal
Region: Southern
Location: Mattawoman Creek

I live in Marbury, Md and have caught these fish in Mattawoman Creek they seem to feed more so at late day/early evening times. I'm fishing from shore and some fish have gotten away before landing (gar was released unharmed).

The 2 snakeheads you see are now dead. If you would like more info let me know / I love to fish the Potomac and if I can help let know.

DNR's response: Thank you Dave for sending in your report and helping us to remind anyone who catches a snakehead to not return it to the water: http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/news/story.asp?story_id=49.
