Snakehead

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Potomac near Occoquan

I was fishing with my wife's Uncle on the Occoquan, very close to the park ramp, when I caught this 9.4 pound snakehead. We quickly killed it. I caught it on a carolina rig. Was hoping for a largemouth, but it was still fun to catch.

DNR RESPONSE: Thanks for helping us to lower the population size of this invasive species in Maryland. Drop us info on the catch with a picture that clearly shows the fish is dead every time you kill one, and you�ll get entered again fs for helping out the bass population and the Potomac River ecosystem!
