Thread: Snkehead report

Miss. G F confirmed that the Snakehead shot at Whittington was a Snakehead an is the first reported in MS. waters.

thanks G for picks

A snakehead was found in a state park lake here near me and I think they either drained the lake or shocked everything up to make sure there were no more, then a year or so later there was a leak in the damn and they had to either drain it or drop the water level considerably to repair it. Lake used to be a decent bass lake but has never been the same since.

Ya'll sure it's a snakehead? they resemble a grinnel ALOT

A biologist from MS. G & F confirmed it was a snakehead below is a link to a 2010 article detailing how this happened.

The coldwater doesn't flow into the Mississippi.
The coldwater flows into the Tallahatchie, it flows into the Yazoo, it flows into the Mississippi.

We used to target them specifically when I lived in FL. Heck of a fight on a rod and reel. It is true that they are not prolific spawning fish BUT snakeheads ARE prolific eaters. They can really destroy an ecosystem worse than the carp or other undesirables combined. They eat EVERYTHING. And can live out of water for a very long time.
