Check Out This Snakeheads Back

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Potomac River

I was kayak fishing down at the lower Potomac River Saturday 6/8/13 and caught 12 Largemouth Bass and 3 snakeheads 23", 26", 28" with a broken back that could be 30". The 28" it look like it got beat up when it was young.

DNR Response: Alberto, the high arch of the back is a condition called lordosis and is caused by an abnormal development of the spine.
