That fish looks like 3 ft section of a giant anaconda. Congrats on your first SN!! Have these things been caught in the upper Potomac?

No. They are not upstream of Little Falls.

A courting pair was reported and subsequently shocked up by DNR in a pool in one of the tributaries up there

Curly, have you eaten that sucker yet? I'm dying to hear a critique from a hardcore pescivore (fish eater...) like yourself!

Not yet............the wife is a little leery of it . I gave Ernie 1/2 of the fillets yesterday. My plan is to eat it this coming week and will post the "fish-connoisseurs critique" on this thread................

I'll have to tell my wife that it is "rockfish" or she will not take a bite. If I'm able to fool her and then tell her it's snakehead............I might be staying at Thai's townhouse for a while .............

I was surprised that he was not quoted on "using Frog-Togs to catch them in the rain" or any of 20 other sponsor's stuff he hawks unrelentingly.

Where can I see the documentary? His emails that are called reports that he sends are just him rambling bout his sponsors.

Re: 7-16 The Hunt for a Mega-Snakehead + PICS
Cooked the snakehead fillets on the grill this evening. Marinaded in real butter and fish rub and then placed on a hot grill. 
All I can say is WOW! Best tasting white fish I've ever had......even better than Alaskan halibut caught and cooked the same day . Didn't tell the girls that it was snakehead until after they had complemented me on how good the fish was..........no one hit me 
. The meat is nice and firm, like tuna, and flakes easily.
Northern Snakehead fishing (and eating) has me hooked. I will be hunting snakeheads much more in the future!
