What kind it is ? You don't know ?

Let's read my post in here about Fish From Hell !

Dubbed "fishzilla" and the "fish from hell" for its sharp teeth, aggressive demeanor and ability to wriggle across short distances on land, the snakehead is believed to have been introduced to North America through a fish market in New York City's Chinatown. Once dumped alive in U.S. waterways, the hardy fish, which has a ravenous appetite and no natural predators, exploded in population and became an ecological nightmare. It's illegal to possess a live snakehead in Virginia.

While no reliable estimate exists as to how many northern snakeheads are found in Virginia waters, the non-native species was first identified in 2004 and has since grown to “relative abundance,” according to John Odenkirk, a biologist for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.

“We’re working on coming up with a reliable estimate by the end of this year, but the bottom line is nobody knows,” Odenkirk said of the state’s snakehead population. “The jury is still out.”

In Little Hunting Creek alone, a 3.5-mile-long tributary of the Potomac River, Odenkirk said up to 500 adult snakeheads were recently counted and he expects “tens of thousands” more to be thriving in all of Virginia’s tidal tributaries, including Dogue Creek, Pohick Creek and several others.

“The snakehead is a lazy fish,” Odenkirk said. “They sit and wait in ambush mode. It’s an opportunist, plain and simple. Whatever swims in front of its head, it’s going to eat.”

Common targets for the snakehead are banded killifish and the bluegill, and mature males can reach up to more than 3 feet long and weigh roughly 18 or 19 pounds, Odenkirk said.

“There seems to be ample numbers of 18- and 19-pound fish out there, and that’s about a 37-inch fish,” he said. “That’s a big fish.”

With no reason to suspect that the snakehead population is declining, Odenkirk said he expects several thousand pounds of fish to be culled from Virginia waters during the weekend tournament.

“Conditions are good right now,” he said. “And if it’s good to eat and fun to catch, why not get out there and catch ‘em?”

In 2002, Virginia’s Board of Game and Inland Fisheries added the snakehead to its list of predatory and undesirable exotic species, making it illegal to possess one in the state without a permit. Anglers who legally catch a snakehead can keep the fish to mount or eat if the animal is immediately killed, however.
