    Are they considered an invasive species there in NJ? If so, I hope you dispatched them rather than released them.
    Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.

    They are an invasive specie for sure! they don't belong here like largemouth bass nor smallmouth bass as these 3 species were introduced... just the latter two were done by people who wanted to make money in the sport fishing industry.

    It's refreshing to see someone educated on the subject and not driven by media fear and propaganda. These days almost every fish that people catch is/was invasive at some point and they don't even know it.

    I dont know whether to be excited or disgusted by that video. Seeing them fight looks good. I know they are good to eat...I am mostly against any non native animals here.
    Work 'em in and cut 'em down

    So I take it you're also against largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, rock bass, bluegill, green sunfish, black crappie, white crappie, northern pike, musky, rainbow trout, and brown trout? All of those fish are non native to New Jersey as well.

    Wow! A new post from NJ! That said and fighting abilities aside, we also have to consider how they balance in the mix. If too many of them wipe out the other guys that’s not good - I don’t know if many studies have been done. Fish on and have fun!

    In our state, they have hardly done much studies. it's a shame how our state doesn't want to do the studies. Every species of fish can and will impact a body of water. The question is how, but without the right tools and the right amount of time to observe, it's really hard for anyone to say what would happen.

    Based on my observations, I believe that without human interaction to help control the population, NJ waters would have been taken over by snakeheads. Plenty of places where people catch and harvest this wonderful fighting and eating fish. They will just keep on reproducing as they can be in waters that no other big predatory fish can (other than bowfins as they also breathe air directly), and is difficult for humans to go or fish.

    As a multispecies angler, I love to target and fish snakeheads.
