The Northern Snakehead were first found here in a pond 14 years ago. A fisherman reported to the DNR that he was catching something funny in the pond. They came out and almost shart their self. It created a frenzy, they said this thing could move across land. They fenced the pond in and poisoned it.
The pond was close to the Patuxent River, they said if it got in there it would be unstoppable.
Snakeheads made their way all the way to the Potomac River in no time.
Now they are everywhere, it must be the fastest spreading fish in our history around here.
They are absolutely one of the best eating fish. Honestly, they taste like flounder except sweeter.
