A friend sent me a picture of his buddy holding a snakehead he shot last night They were bowfishing at lake Whittington. He has contacted G & F and they are suppose to come in today to investigate. That is all I know.

Ain't no telling what all is in these oxbow lakes. Maybe the snakehead will eat some of the carp... One non native for another

Between carp and gar, what difference is one more ugly fish? There are already few times a year when I fish the oxbows dues to these undesirable fish. Sad, cause they used to have some great fishing at these lakes year round. Now I can catch it good about 3 times a year IF water gets right on the weekend

A buddy of mine caught one a couple weeks ago running some lines below the dam at Butla.

No he didn't. They are in the MS river and the coldwater connects to it. I don't think there is anything they can do about it.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
