The recent decision of the Enviromentalist Board to poison lakes suspected of containing the Snakehead fish is wrong!...It is another example of "American Protectionism",that is not allowing the import of something that is vastly superior to anything found in the States.I ask you what is so wrong with this creature?
Attractive Features....
1:Can grow up to 3 feet in length...Not quite as long or big in girth as a Muskie but apparently pound for pound it puts up one hell of a fight when hooked.
2:Snakehead Filets...Apparently it is delicacy..It's buttery fried in flour taste puts all other fish to shame...Also it's not a very boney fish,so your wife can learn how to filet in no time.
3:Easy To Catch...They are so aggressive,they strike at almost anything that moves.So most any lure in your box will do the job.They can be found very deep,in suspended depth or lurking amongst the lilypads on the shoreline.So whatever is your preferred method(trolling,jigs,surface lures),they will accomodate you.
4:Fish Crossings...When it comes late fall they migrate.They can be seen crawling across highways in hordes in search of warmer waters and can survive up to 3 days on land.Imagine the boost to the tourism industry during the migration period.
5:Voracious Appitite...This fish is second to none for it's need to feed.It would feast on undesirables like suckers,carp,catfish..In fact it would wipe them out in no time.No more cursing when your line snaps because you'll know the fish that swam off with your $15 lure probably chewed right through the leader.
6:No Catch Limits...This will happen after the Snakehead has wiped out every other species of fish.
Here is a picture of one of these beautifull creatures.
