Snakehead

Type: Tidal
Region: Central
Location: Potomac River

I'm writing to report a large snakehead that I caught on the Maryland side of the lower Potomac in the bay near National Capital Parks - East. The fish measured 26" and weighted 7.5lbs, including a belly full of eggs. It is shown quite dead in the attached pictures.

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!
