Snakehead Infestation In S. Fl.! Kill?

[mplspug]

Wish I seen this post sooner.  I'd might make a trip for a snakehead party because I'd like to catch some just to be able to say I did.  

I'm not sure what I would do with a snakehead.  I've generally throw invasives back because I feel like killing them is a exercise in futility. However I'd catch and kill if I was participating in some sort of fishing rodeo round up.  

Now if I found snakehead to be appeasing to my palate, then I'd be filling the freezer.

Like most exotic fish not much can be done to truly control their numbers.They have adapted extremely well to our waters and reproduce at a impressive rate.With that said go to the C-14 canal and surrounding areas.Lots of Snakeheads there.
