Don’t take this the wrong way, but you look like you’ve just seen a snake! I mean a northern snakehead! Oh Carp!
You’ve just outfitted your boat with the latest netting, switched all your tackle to catch Bighead Carp, and bought the latest AMS Bowfishing Hawk bow at Cabella’s, and now you’ve just learned that Northern Snakehead are making their way to the Mississippi.
Our advice: it’s time to call in the Navy SEALs.

TheLogCabin.Net – BRINKLEY –Aug-8-2011 — Arkansas Game and Fish Commission fisheries biologists confirmed a breeding population of northern snakehead, an invasive species from Asia, in Piney Creek system in Lee and Monroe counties in 2008. Despite an eradication program in the area, the AGFC is still getting scattered reports of fishermen catching the invasive species.
Piney Creek flows into Big Creek in Lee County, where it joins the White River to the south. The White then empties into the Mississippi River. Stopping the snakeheads before they move downstream is the goal of the AGFC.
The population was discovered when a farmer found an unusual fish wiggling along a gravel farm road near a ditch. AGFC biologists identified the fish as the invasive species. Since the confirmation, fisheries biologists have worked to establish how far the population has spread and to control the population. Click To Read More
