After careful consideration I think you all are correct; more like 5 lbs, plus. At the time I was so nervous/scared about being bit or losing him that I wasn't thinking clearly. Didn't know Snakeheads have such a hard head, tried to stab him through his "skull" to the brain and ran into what I thought was armor plate!! Well live and learn. Ran knife through his eyes and should have gutted him but again wasn't thinking clearly. Know better next time
